Myocardial infarction is a pathological process in which sustained ischemia of a coronary artery leads to irreversible necrosis of the myocardium supplied by that artery. Elderly myocardial infarction refers to a group of patients who develop the disease after the age of 60. The basic etiology of myocardial infarction in the elderly is coronary atherosclerosis. Common precipitating factors include excessive fatigue, severe mental stress, cold stimulation, major surgery, high-fat or excessive meals, heavy smoking, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
