  • Title: Arteriosclerotic heart disease in the elderly.
    Author: Dunn FG.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 1986 May; 4(2):253-61. PubMed ID: 2871937.
    Abstract:
    Arteriosclerotic heart disease is now the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Clinical presentation may be less typical than in younger patients, and therefore, a high index of suspicion is necessary. Although selectivity is required in regard to investigations, age should not deter the physician from establishing a diagnosis and quantifying the extent of the coronary artery disease. In this way, management will prove rewarding in terms of both symptomatic relief and prolonged survival with improved quality of life.
