Summary
This reprint focuses on older adults, who represent a large portion of patients with acute coronary syndromes and cardiovascular diseases in general but are seldom included in randomized clinical trials. The articles in this reprint offer evidence to assist clinical decision making and guide clinicians worldwide in problems with everyday clinical implications, which often result in the mis- or undertreatment of this large population of fragile individuals.
