Why the study?
Do women with acute myocardial infarction treated predominantly with percutaneous coronary intervention have similar outcomes compared to men?
Do women with acute myocardial infarction treated predominantly with percutaneous coronary intervention have similar outcomes compared to men?
Women with acute myocardial infarction undergoing a PCI-based reperfusion strategy achieve similar outcomes to men despite having a higher baseline clinical risk profile.
Supports comparable PCI outcomes in higher-risk women with AMI; leaves open residual confounding in this cohort.
Despite their more advanced age and greater prevalence of diabetes or hypertension, women with AMI who were treated with a reperfusion strategy largely based on percutaneous coronary interventions show a similar outcome as men.
