Anaemia has the potential to worsen the myocardial ischemia in acute coronary syndrome. In this paper, admission haemoglobin levels and the factors related to haemoglobin concentrations and in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention were analysed for the management of acute coronary syndrome in female and male octogenarian patients. We analyzed data of 2.256 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with bare metal and/or drug eluting stent implantation. Either the femoral artery or brachial artery approach was used. 50 of 2256 consecutive patients were octogeneric and Hb and white blood cell levels were analyzed. Mean admission haemoglobin levels were significantly elevated in male octogenarian patients as compared with female octogenarian patients (12.10 ± 1.37 mg/dl, 11.24 ± 1.03 mg/dl, p=0.02, respectively).
