Population

1,744 consecutive patients under 80 years of age with the full spectrum of acute coronary syndrome (ST elevation MI, non-ST elevation MI, and unstable angina of high- and low-risk types) admitted to the coronary care unit in a university hospital.

Outcome

Sex-based differences in clinical presentation in relation to age and type of acute coronary syndrome

Women with acute coronary syndromes present at an older age, experience longer delays to care, and younger women more frequently present with hypotension compared to men.
