Article Synopsis
- Sudden cardiac death (SCD) significantly affects healthcare due to its cardiological and neurological complications, especially among the elderly, leading to more admissions in intensive care.
- A study analyzing SCD patients from five hospitals found that patients aged 80 and older received less aggressive treatments, like new antiplatelet agents and coronary angiography, compared to younger patients.
- While older age was linked to worse survival rates, it did not correlate with poorer neurological outcomes; instead, factors like rhythm type and time to CPR were more predictive of outcomes regardless of age.
