Sex Differences in Timeliness of Reperfusion in Young Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction by Initial Electrocardiographic Characteristics
Why the study?
Are there sex differences in timeliness to reperfusion in young patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction?
Structured PICO

P
Population
Young patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction
O
Outcome

Implication
Persistent sex disparities in young STEMI reperfusion times warrant awareness but not practice change; leaves open non-ECG contributors.
