Background Studies have reported that women with acute myocardial infarction have in-hospital and long-term outcomes that are worse than those of men.Methods To assess sex-based differences in presentation and outcome, we examined data from the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries in Acute Coronary Syndromes IIb study, which enrolled 12,142 patients (3662 women and 8480 men) with acute coronary syndromes, including infarction with ST-segment elevation, infarction with no ST-segment elevation, and unstable angina.Results Overall, the women were older than the men and had significantly higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, and prior congestive heart failure.
