The purpose of this study is to describe patients, 75 years old or older, with Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) especially regarding the following variables: cardiovascular risk, co-morbidity and frailty. The investigators hypothesize that the degree of frailty influences the benefit from coronary angiography and the possible invasive treatment which can follow.
The term frailty denotes a multi-dimensional syndrome characterized by increased vulnerability and decreased physiologic reserves. Frailty stratification predicts a patient's risk of death and need for institutional care. The construct is well validated, but there is not one single accepted operational definition. The CSHA Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a 7-point scale relying on clinical judgement. It is a global clinical measure of biological age, and it mixes co-morbidity, disability and cognitive impairment.Though frailty instruments so far mainly have been used in a geriatric context, it has been pointed out as relevant for cardiologic patients as well, e.g. regarding risk stratification for elderly patients with NSTEMI.
