Sex-based reperfusion disparities in Chinese ACS patients did not alter mortality; leaves open whether targeted strategies reduce recurrent angina.
Do female patients with acute coronary syndrome have different clinical presentations, management, and in-hospital outcomes compared to male patients in China?
