Sex Differences in Coronary Artery Disease Characteristics Among Patients With Type 2 Myocardial Infarction

Figures

• 

  Figure 1. Index Conveying Burden of Comorbidities Divided by Sex Among Study Participants With Type 2 MI Women and men had generally comparable burdens of comorbidities. MI = myocardial infarction.

• 

  Figure 2. Degree of Coronary Artery Stenosis and FFRCTResults in Women vs Men With Type 2 MI Findings were generally similar between sexes. MI = myocardial infarction.

• 

  Figure 3. Coronary Artery Plaque Characteristics Divided by Sex Among Study Participants With Type 2 MI Women had significantly lower levels of low-attenuation plaque than men, while other characteristics were similar between sexes. MI = myocardial infarction.

• 

  Figure 4. Coronary Artery Plaque Characteristics Across Age Subgroups Divided by Sex Among Study Participants With Type 2 MI Women generally had lower levels of plaque volume across all age subgroups. MI = myocardial infarction.

• 

  Figure 5. Medications Utilization at Admission vs Discharge Divided by Sex Among Study Participants With Type 2 MI Relative percent changes in medication use of women vs men are reported. Women and men had comparable increases in aspirin, beta-blockers, and statin utilization. ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; MI = myocardial infarction.
