Introduction Elderly patients with S–T elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presented a very high risk for both in–hospital and long–term morbility and mortality. Comorbidities plays a key role in prognosis, in particular anemia (pre–existent or acquired) is a more and more emerging clinical element able to influence short– and long–term clinical outcome. Prognostic role of anemia in elderly STEMI patients in not completely clarified. Purpose of the present study is to evaluate the role of anemia and its therapy by iron implementation in a very–old population of STEMI patients followed for 1 year after index event. Methods we considered all STEMI patients admitted in our Coronary Care Unit from 2020 to 2021 and we selected only people aged > 80 years–old (n = 120). Haemoglobin (Hb, g/dl) values were considered at admission (T0), at hospital discharge (T1) and after 6 month (T2). In hospital and 1 year mortality, treatment by primary PCI, major bleedings (TIMI criteria), need of transfusion, double antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) discontinuation, were considered and compared between groups of patients without and with anemia (A, Hb < 13.5 for men and |
