Background The overall rate of mortality due to ischemic heart disease is known to increase progressively with age. We evaluated the relation between the mortality rate and age in patients with first myocardial infarctions treated with thrombolytic therapy. Methods We studied 9720 patients with first infarctions who had been enrolled in the GISSI-2 trial. (This trial compared the efficacy of tissue plasminogen activator with that of streptokinase in patients with myocardial infarction.) Of these, only 35 percent had a history of angina. The relation between age and mortality during hospitalization and during the six months after discharge was determined by unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Results The in-hospital mortality rate was 1.9 percent among patients 40 years old or younger, but it increased to 31.9 percent among those more than 80 years old; however, values for indicators of infarct size did not increase with age. Autopsies were performed in 20 percent of the 772 patients who died in the hospital...
