Cumulative incidence of death and rehospitalization among the elderly in the first year after NSTEMI.
The researchers evaluated mortality and cause-specific rehospitalization rates in elderly non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction survivors with ischemic heart disease. They found that rehospitalization rates do not rise substantially with advancing age, and rehospitalization is often for noncardiac diagnoses.

Does age influence cardiac resynchronization therapy use and outcome?
This study sought to describe the use of cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) and its association with survival for older patients. It found that receipt of CRT-D was associated with better survival at 1 year (82.1 percent vs. 77.1 percent, respectively) and 4 years (54.0 percent vs. 46.2 percent , respectively) than in those receiving only an implantable cardiac defibrillator.

Risk of myocardial infarction in older men receiving testosterone therapy.
The purpose of this paper was to examine the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based cohort of older men receiving intramuscular testosterone. The investigators found that older men who were treated with intramuscular testosterone did not appear to have an increased risk of MI. For men with high MI risk, testosterone use was modestly protective against MI.
