摘　　要：The progressive ageing of the population and the high incidence of acute coronary syndromes(ACS)in the elderly is leading to an important increase in the number of elderly patients admitted for ACS.[1]Nevertheless,the information about the optimal clinical management in this age group is scarce due to the exclusion of older patients from clinical trials.[2]Higher comorbidity and frailty are common in this clinical setting and they are associated with higher rates of complications and consumption of healthcare resources.[3]These are the main reasons for launching this special issue about management of ACS in the elderly,in which several experts in the field address some of the most important questions about how to deal with ACS in patients at older ages.
