N2  - Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), one of the commonest causes of  intensive care unit (ICU) admission, casts a large burden of cost on the health care  system, along with a huge mortality in the elderly population, both in Egypt and  worldwide.  Objectives: Comparative study between young and elderly patients whom were admitted  with the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome in the last 4 years in the critical care  department, Cairo University. Results: It was found that dyslipidemia , hypertension and diabetes were the most  prevalent and significant risk factors for ACS in elderly (p<0.001), While smoking was  the most significant risk factor in younger (p<0.001). Predictors of heart failure were only  age and TIMI score, Being elderly increases odds ratio of heart failure by 3.154 times, (P  value .035), Also increases in TIMI score increase incidence of heart failure by 0.825  times, (P value <.001).Mortality was frequent in elderly than younger, (P value=0.002).  Conclusion: Predictors of Heart failure were increase both age and TIMI score. Mortality  was more frequent in elderly than younger.
