description The elderly constitute a sizeable proportion of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population, and this population is continually increasing in number. Guideline-directed therapy is frequently underutilized in the elderly due to concerns about patient safety.

This paper reviews current literature in the context of contemporary American and European guidance.
