Are there gender differences in chest pain perception among Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Absolute Event Rate: 84.37% vs 67.19%
p-value: p=< 0.05
Chinese women with acute myocardial infarction are more likely to present with atypical chest pain symptoms compared to men, highlighting them as a high-risk group for delayed diagnosis.
Khan et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=128). Male gender vs. Female gender was evaluated on Chest pain prevalence at the onset of acute myocardial infarction (p=< 0.05). Among Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction, men reported a higher prevalence of chest pain compared to women (84.37% vs. 67.19%, p < 0.05).
