39 Do elderly patients benefit from CRT? Recent analyses of randomized controlled trials provide data on the efficacy and safety of CRT in the elderly Extended survival, improved quality of life, and improved cardiac function and status Guidelines are the same for elderly patients1 Life expectancy >1 year CRT-P may be considered to extend survival and improve quality of life in select elderly patients where defibrillation is not desired 1.

43 Conclusions Long-term treatment with CRT-P appears highly costeffective compared to medical therapy for any starting age The cost effectiveness of CRT-ICD compared to CRT-P is conditional on patient life expectancy and device longevity Where device longevity is adequate, and patient life expectancy with CRT-P is sufficient, CRT-ICD may also be considered cost-effective

55 Results: Baseline Practice Characteristics By Age Tertiles ( 64y, 65-76y, >76y) Younger patients more likely to attend multispecialty, hospitalbased, and transplant-affiliated outpatient clinics (P<.001 all comparisons). Younger patients also more likely to receive care from outpatient practices with a dedicated heart failure clinic, and with electrophysiologists on staff (P<.001 all comparisons). By Sex Women were more likely than men (14.1% vs. 12.7%; P=.025) to attend a transplant-affiliated outpatient clinic. More women than men received care at practices with a device clinic (82.8% vs. 80.4%; P<.001) Yancy CW, et al. Am Heart J 2009;157:754-62

60 Conclusions Females and the more elderly are less likely to receive certain guideline-recommended evidence-based heart failure treatments in the outpatient setting Older patients received less pharmacologic therapy, less device therapy, and less heart failure education. Women received less heart failure education and less device therapy. Yancy CW, et al. Am Heart J 2009;157:754-62
