Data suggest worse outcomes for women after in-hospital STEMI

Women are more likely to have an in-hospital vs. out-of-hospital STEMI, with women experiencing an average 10‐minute delay from symptom onset to reperfusion compared with men, according to an analysis of registry data.
“Rapid reperfusion is key in the treatment of STEMI, with time from symptom onset to revascularization closely linked to outcomes,” Julia Stehli, MD, a doctoral student at Monash University School of Nursing and Health Sciences in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and colleagues wrote in the study background. “Two groups of patients with STEMI who demonstrate a
