However, its effects on clinical coronary atherosclerotic burden and lesion complexity and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in elderly patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are unknown. Therefore, we evaluated these possible effects. Coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and complexity were assessed using the Gensini and TAXus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score, respectively. MACE involving nonfatal myocardial infarction, rehospitalization, ischemic stroke, and total mortality were evaluated after 1\u00a0year of the index NSTEMI event. The study included 240 elderly patients; of these, 60 (25%) patients had sarcopenia. The SYNTAX score and Gensini score were similar in both groups (16.8 \u00b1 8.7 vs 17.3 \u00b1 9.2, P = .63 and 67.7 \u00b1 43.9 vs 73.9 \u00b1 45.5, P = .31, respectively). The total MACE rate was significantly higher in patients with sarcopenia than in those without sarcopenia (31.7 vs 14.4%, P = .003). In the multivariate model, age [odds ratio (OR) 1.112, 95% CI: 1.006\u20131.228, P = .04)], ejection fraction (OR: .923, 95% CI: .897\u2013.951, P &lt; .001), and sarcopenia (OR: 2.262, 95% CI: 1.039\u20134.924, P = .04) were independently associated with MACE. Sarcopenia was independently associated with MACE but not with CAD burden or complexity in elderly patients with NSTEMI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00033197231187230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]],"date-time":"2023-06-30T05:46:59Z","timestamp":1688104019000},"page":"651-657","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effect
