Key result
Men presenting with non-ST-segment myocardial infarction were significantly more likely than women to receive coronary intervention and medical treatment across multiple stratified cells (P<0.05).
Why the study?
Are there gender differences in the rates of coronary intervention and medical treatment among patients presenting with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction?

Potential undertreatment of women with NSTEMI warrants confirmation; leaves open whether disparities reflect bias or clinical factors.
Tavris et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (n=32,888). Male gender vs. Female gender was evaluated on Rate of coronary intervention or medical treatment (p=<0.05). Men presenting with non-ST-segment myocardial infarction were significantly more likely than women to receive coronary intervention and medical treatment across multiple stratified cells (P<0.05).
