Effectiveness of acute myocardial infarction interventions on selected outcomes among community dwelling-older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The older adult is an influential group experiencing acute myocardial infarction, delaying treatment and causing a high mortality rate. Factors related to their delay differ from other age groups, and their specific characteristics are barriers to recognizing their symptoms and learning new information. Therefore, specific innovative methods related to their limitations and needs should be considered when developing interventions promoting on-time treatment.
