@entity453 is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly in the United States. In this age group, the clinical presentation of @entity301 can be quite atypical. In general, the incidence of typical precordial chest pressure/ @entity158 denoting @entity741 is less common, whereas @entity1353 as an anginal-equivalent symptom is frequent. The diagnosis of @entity63 @entity158 is frequently confused by the many comorbid conditions present in the elderly. Even when classic @entity63 precordial discomfort is present, it tends to be less severe and less well defined. The elderly appear to have reduced @entity158 perception; as a result, silent @entity741 is more common and carries a somewhat worse prognosis in the elderly than in younger age groups. Similarly, the presenting symptoms of @entity583 in the elderly can be nonspecific. The classic crushing substernal chest @entity158 decreases with age, whereas the symptom of @entity1353 gradually increases. @entity16 , @entity911 states, @entity425 , and worsening @entity712 are common clinical presentations of an acute @entity1188 in elderly @entity1 . Silent (unrecognized) @entity583 are common in the elderly and carry serious prognostic implications.
