Reassessment Strategy in the Diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease in Elderly (IRIDIA)

Therapeutical Impact of a Reassessment Strategy in the Diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease in Elderly

Despite the effectiveness of beta-blockers and antiplatelet agents for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, this treatments are underused in the elderly because of diagnosis uncertainty and underuse of efficient treatment.

in a first time, diagnosis reassessment with invasive technique if necessary. in a second time, treatment reassessment.
