The extrapolation of evidence generated in younger adult populations to the geriatric population is fraught with limitations and hazards, given unique vulnerabilities that impact the safety and efficacy of diagnostic approaches and treatments, distinct health care needs, and heterogeneity in patient priorities. This underlies the need for geriatric cardiology, a subdiscipline of cardiology that has “come of age” in recent years. Geriatric cardiology is focused on adapting cardiovascular care to the unique needs of older adults, and provides a framework for navigating the complexity of cardiovascular diseases within the context of advanced age and associated geriatric syndromes such as frailty, cognitive impairment, and polypharmacy, among others. 1As the population ages, clinicians are increasingly faced with making decisions about how to manage coronary artery disease (CAD) in older adults. Importantly, there are well-established differences in atherosclerotic burden, procedural and technical complexity, and procedural risk among older adults. 2 Consequently, there is variability in procedural success and increased risk of complications among older
