Coronary Intervention Lowers Mortality in Super-Aged Myocardial Infarction Patients
Professor Oh Seok and Jeong Myeong-ho of Jeonnam National University Hospital Publish Research Paper... Observation of 388 Patients Over 15 Years
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] A study has found that actively performing coronary intervention in patients aged 90 and older with myocardial infarction can reduce mortality rates.
According to Jeonnam National University Hospital on the 21st, a research paper titled “Outcomes of Nonagenarians with Acute Myocardial Infarction with or without Coronary Intervention” by Professors Oh Seok and Jeong Myeongho of the Department of Cardiology at Jeonnam National University Hospital was published in the international medical journal Journal of Clinical Medicine (IF=4.242, first author Professor Oh Seok, corresponding author Professor Jeong Myeongho).
This study was conducted on 388 patients who survived and were discharged among 467 nonagenarian patients with myocardial infarction from 2005 to 2020.
Among them, clinical outcomes were compared and analyzed for one year after discharge between 270 patients who underwent coronary intervention and 118 patients who did not. The one-year mortality rate after discharge was 15.2% for patients who received coronary intervention and 23.7% for those who did not.
The mortality rate was lower in patients who underwent coronary intervention. In particular, patients who received the procedure were also found to be more proactive in drug treatment. Along with active interventional procedures, drug therapy can increase patient survival rates.

Professor Jeong Myeongho said, “This study surveyed the largest number of nonagenarian myocardial infarction patients worldwide and is expected to set a milestone for treating elderly myocardial infarction patients in the face of a super-aged society. Since even very elderly patients can improve survival rates through intervention, they should not hesitate and must receive active treatment.”
