Are there sex differences in timeliness to reperfusion in young patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction?
Sex disparities in reperfusion times for young STEMI patients persist even after accounting for initial ECG presentations.
Sex disparities in timeliness to reperfusion in young patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction persisted, despite adjusting for initial electrocardiographic characteristics. Left ventricular hypertrophy by voltage criteria and absence of prehospital ECG are strongly positively correlated and ST elevation in lateral leads is negatively correlated with reperfusion delay.
Gupta et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
