Abstract:	Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) has a great impact on healthcare due to cardiologic and neurological complications. Admissions of elderly people in Cardiology Intensive Care Units have increased. We assessed the impact of age in presentation, therapeutic management and in vital and neurological prognosis of SCD patients. Methods: We carried out a retrospective, observational, multicenter registry of patients who were admitted with a SCD in 5 tertiary hospitals from January 2013 to December 2020. We divided our cohort into two groups (patients < 80 years and ≥ 80 years). Clinical, analytical and hemodynamic variables as well as in-hospital management were registered and compared between groups. The degree of neurological dysfunction, vital status at discharge and the influence of age on them were also reviewed. Results: We reviewed 1160 patients admitted with a SCD. 11. 3% were ≥ 80 years. Use of new antiplatelet agents, performance of a coronary angiography, use of pulmonary artery catheter and temperature control were less carried out in the elderly. Age, non-shockable rhythm, Killip class.
