Gender not independently tied to MACE in young AMI; leaves open whether closing treatment disparities narrows unadjusted gaps.

Does female gender increase major adverse cardiovascular events in young patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to male gender?
Absolute Event Rate: 7.8% vs 4.7%
p-value: p=0.004
In young patients with AMI, women have higher unadjusted rates of MACEs than men, but this difference is driven by baseline risk factors and treatment disparities rather than female gender itself.
Cho et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=5,200). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Major adverse cardiovascular events (composite of cardiac death, recurrent MI, and repeat revascularisation) at 1 year (p=0.004). Female gender in young patients with acute myocardial infarction was associated with higher unadjusted 1-year MACE rates than male gender (7.8% vs 4.7%, p=0.004), but was not an independent predictor.
