Implication

Despite overall improvements in CHD mortality, significant sex and racial disparities persist in the presentation, treatment, and outcomes of AMI among women, requiring targeted multilevel interventions.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Women with coronary heart disease (CHD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the United States, including racially and ethnically diverse subgroups.
C
Comparator
Men, and non-Hispanic white women (in the context of disparities)

Despite overall improvements in CHD mortality, significant sex and racial disparities persist in the presentation, treatment, and outcomes of AMI among women, requiring targeted multilevel interventions.
