Do coronary artery disease characteristics differ by sex among patients with type 2 myocardial infarction?
In patients with type 2 myocardial infarction, women and men have similar overall CAD prevalence and total plaque volume, but women have less low-attenuation plaque.
Among patients with type 2 MI, prevalence of any CAD and obstructive CAD did not differ according to sex. Total plaque volume was similar between sexes, but women had a lower volume of low-attenuation plaque (DEFINing the PrEvalence and Characteristics of Coronary Artery Disease Among Patients With TYPE 2 Myocardial Infarction Using CT-FFR DEFINE TYPE2MI; NCT04864119).
