Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients above 80 years of age. Understanding the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and optimal means of diagnosis and treatment of CAD in older adults is crucial in improving outcomes in this high-risk population. It is crucial to identify the knowledge gaps in the diagnosis and management of CAD in this vulnerable population as most clinical trials and studies tend to exclude older patients altogether or include those at lower risk.
