Valve replacement in octogenarians: increased early mortality but good long-term result.

abstract：UNLABELLED:OBJECTIVE, DESIGN AND PATIENTS: Between August 1981 and July 1983, 5839 consecutive myocardial infarction patients were hospitalized in 13 coronary care units in Israel. The present study examines 10 year survival among 4037 consecutive patients with a first myocardial infarction with either Q or non-Q waves...
