dc.description.abstract	One of the acknowledged problems is that the elderly has not been represented enough in randomised clinical trials of myocardial infarction (MI) management. Now, 40 years since the first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed, we still do not know the optimal revascularisation strategy in elderly patients. On the positive side, it has also been shown that the mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has declined due to evidence-based therapies and life-style changes.	en_ZA
