[Risk factor structure and specific clinical features of acute coronary syndrome in aged and elderly patients].

Diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in elder patients encounters difficulty due to age-specific features of CHD resulting from a number of physiological and pathological changes associated with aging. This study was designed to analyse the structure of risk factors and clinical signs of ACS based on the examination of 176 patients of different age groups. It turned out that the number of risk factors and concomitant disorders grows with age.
