Key result
Black women had a nonsignificantly shorter median delay time in seeking treatment for acute myocardial infarction compared to white women (1.0 vs 1.5 hours), with 57% vs 54% seeking care within 2 hours.
Observational (n=1,009)
Absolute Event Rate: 1% vs 1.5%
Correct attribution of symptoms and insurance coverage are key modifiable predictors of timely treatment seeking in women experiencing AMI, with no significant racial difference in median delay time.

No significant racial difference in women's AMI treatment delay; supports targeting symptom attribution and insurance while leaving causal effects open.
McSweeney et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=1,009). Black race vs. White race was evaluated on Median delay time in seeking treatment (hours). Black women had a nonsignificantly shorter median delay time in seeking treatment for acute myocardial infarction compared to white women (1.0 vs 1.5 hours), with 57% vs 54% seeking care within 2 hours.
