Are there sex differences in hospital mortality after acute myocardial infarction?
The mortality gap between younger women and men after MI is narrowing, largely due to temporal changes in risk profiles.
In recent years, women, particularly younger ones, experienced larger improvements in hospital mortality after MI than men. The narrowing of the mortality gap between younger women and men is largely attributable to temporal changes in risk profiles.
Vaccarino et al. (2009) studied this question.
