AbstractElderly patients always have some unique features as compared to younger age group but there was very scarce data on the differences between the two groups with respect to the clinical presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This article summarizes the study conducted by United Christian Hospital of Hong Kong to find out the differences in AMI presentation between elderly patients above age of 75 years and those equal to or below 75.
