Why the study?
Does female sex increase in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for first acute myocardial infarction compared to male sex?
Does female sex increase in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for first acute myocardial infarction compared to male sex?
Women undergoing primary angioplasty for a first AMI experience significantly higher in-hospital mortality than men, even after adjusting for age and baseline risk.
Warrants heightened awareness of sex differences in AMI outcomes after primary PCI; leaves open residual confounding versus biology.
After correcting for age and baseline risk differences, women undergoing primary angioplasty for AMI have a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate than men.
