Zachura M, et al. - Researchers examined ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and incomplete infarct-related artery reperfusion following a primary percutaneous coronary intervention to determine gender-associated disparities in long-term outcomes. Of 42,752 consecutive STEMI patients who had hospitalization between 2009 and 2011 in Poland, they analyzed women (n=766) and men (n=1,453) with less than thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade 3 after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Compared with men, higher mortality was observed among women with STEMI and postprocedural suboptimal epicardial blood flow. In addition, these women had a high risk of heart failure, with frequent in-patient visits, though advanced age and worse clinical presentation of women vs men possibly accounted for these disparities.
