Key result
Female gender was not associated with a significant difference in major adverse cardiac events compared to male gender in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI (14.9% vs 9.6%).
Why the study?
Are there gender-based differences in clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes among Korean patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Observational (n=457)
No
Are there gender-based differences in clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes among Korean patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
No significant MACE difference by gender after AMI-PCI in this cohort; leaves open whether sex-specific strategies are warranted.
Background: Limited data are available for gender-based differences among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing coronary revascularization in Korea. The purpose of this study is to identify gender-based differences in clinical characteristics, risk factors and outcomes among Korean patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Sukwon Hahn (2012) conducted an observational in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=457). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (p=0.138). Female gender was not associated with a significant difference in major adverse cardiac events compared to male gender in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI (14.9% vs 9.6%).
