Abstract
Objectives:
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death in women. There are limited studies exclusively in Indian women presenting with ACS. This is the first largest study in south Indian women. To assess Demographic, clinical and angiographic profile of women with ACS.
Materials and Methods:
We collected data regarding baseline clinical, demographics, laboratory investigations, electrocardiogram, echocardiographic assessment, coronary angiogram details, treatment data, and outcomes in women presenting with ACS.
Results:
Majority were in the age group between 55 and 65 year (35.886%). Most common comorbidity seen in our study group is hypertension (59.90%), followed by Diabetes milletus (DM) (54.80%). ACS patients most frequently presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-AWMI in postmenopausal group, premenopausal women presented more commonly with non-STEMI. Though SVD is the most common presentation in our study, TVD is most commonly seen in premenopauasal (25.45%) compared to postmenopausal women (11.81%).
Conclusion:
Hypertension is the most common comorbidity seen in our study group, followed by DM. STEMI is the most common presentation. Higher mortality is seen in patients presenting late to the hospital and with higher Killip’s class. More studies are needed in women with ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational and orbital coronary atherectomy (CA) are commonly utilized to treat complex calcified coronary lesions. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate sex differences in procedural complications and clinical outcomes after CA. METHODS PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases were searched for all studies comparing sex differences in procedural and clinical outcomes following CA. The outcomes of interest were procedural complications (coronary dissection, stroke, major bleeding, coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and slow or no flow in target vessel) and the clinical outcomes (including early mortality, mid-term all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization). Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model. RESULTS Six observational studies with 3517 patients (2420 men and 1035 women) were included in this meta-analysis. While there was no significant difference in the early mortality (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.37-3.53; P = 0.83) between men and women, at a mean follow-up of 2.9 years, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in women (RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.49; P = 0.0009). Women had an increased risk of procedure-related stroke (RR, 3.98; 95% CI, 1.06-14.90; P = 0.04), coronary dissection (RR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.23-3.58; P = 0.006), and bleeding (RR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.30-3.93; P = 0.004), whereas the rates of coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and the risk of slow or no flow in the revascularized artery were similar in both. CONCLUSION In our analysis, women undergoing CA are at increased risk of mid-term mortality and procedure-related complications including stroke, coronary dissection, and major bleeding.

Abstract
Background Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Incidence rates of myocardial infarction (MI) in rural West Texas signify a lack of effective, risk-specific prevention programs. The purpose of this study was to identify gender-specific risk factors for MI in rural West Texans. Subjects and methods Hospital patient data for those with and without a history of MI were obtained from the Project FRONTIER database for rural West Texas counties. We used statistical software, such as SPSS, R, and WinBUGS to detect and understand the nature of MI risk factors. Statistical methods including t-tests, Chi-squared, logistic regression, and a Bayesian approach were utilized to analyze data. Results MI significant risk factors obtained for females were systolic blood pressure (p = 0.002), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.004), pulse (p = 0.015), and smoking (p = 0.002). For males, these were glucose (p = 0.022), age (p = 0.050), body fat (p = 0.034), and smoking (p = 0.017). The mean risk parameter followed a normal distribution, while the precision parameter depicted skew for both sexes. Conclusions Gender-specific differences in MI risk factors exist, and incorporating such variables can guide relevant policymaking to reduce MI incidence in rural West Texans.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves morbidity and mortality. Uptake varies for patients following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Entry into CR is often dependent on the management strategy received, lower following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), higher following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study sought to investigate differences in CR uptake following an ACS event for those patients receiving multiple treatments. METHODS Data was from the National Audit of CR between 2016 and 2019. Patients with ACS were categorised as: no intervention; one treatment (such as any PCI, CABG, any valve surgery and any device therapy); two treatments; or three or more treatments. Baseline demographics and logistic regression were used to analyse the effect of multiple treatment intervention on uptake into CR. RESULTS A total of 6833 ACS patients were included in the analysis (0 treatments 2014, 1 treatment 3104, ≥2 treatments 2799). Patients who received ≥2 therapeutic interventions were more likely to be male, partnered and >2 comorbidities. Logistic regression showed a positive relationship between uptake total intervention. Similar associations were seen: being younger, male, partnered and having any comorbidity. The hospital stay, history of angina, diabetes and stroke was negatively correlated with an uptake. CONCLUSION This study showed for the first time that multiple interventions following ACS is a significant predictor of uptake into CR. The findings align with recent trends with medically managed myocardial infarction uptake. Our findings identify factors associated with poor uptake to CR which should be considered as part of strategy to increase participation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to estimate how much of the recent decrease in mortality among patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) can be attributed to improved treatment strategies, and how much it is related to changes in baseline clinical characteristics, and to compare these findings for men and women. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 32,790 patients with STEMI from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes PL-ACS hospitalised in 2005 and 2011. Changes in treatment strategies including pharmacotherapy were analysed. Observed in-hospital and 12-month mortality rates were compared with the outcomes in the groups matched on the propensity scores. RESULTS There was a substantial improvement in STEMI patient management between 2005 and 2011 in Poland. It included greater use of percutaneous coronary interventions and other guideline-based adjunctive therapies, and it was associated with a significant decline in in-hospital mortality. Relative 12-month mortality reduction rates were less pronounced and more related to changes in patients' clinical characteristics. Higher mortality risk reductions were observed in women and were driven by relatively more positive changes in their baseline risk profiles when compared to men. CONCLUSIONS The progress in the treatment strategies has helped to achieve better survival rates in STEMI patients. However, the ongoing changes in clinical characteristics of patients also played an important role, especially in women. Clinicians should focus on modifiable risk factors and post-discharge management to possibly prolong the positive aspects of in-hospital efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality after myocardial infarction is higher in women than in men. Data on the association between sex and mortality are conflicting and inconclusive. We evaluated whether there is a sex difference in survival and if sex is associated with the outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS We analyzed 3671 STEMI patients. Long-term and 30-day mortality in men and women were compared. RESULTS Unadjusted mortality at day 30 was higher in women [221 (8.7%) men died compared to 147 (13.1%) women; p < 0.0001]. After multivariate adjustments, this became insignificant (OR 1.65; 95% CI; 0.81 to 1.40). The long-term, unadjusted mortality was also higher in women [674 (26.3%) men died compared to 382 (34%) women; p < 0.0001]. After multivariable adjustments, female sex (adjusted HR 0.81; 95% CI 0.71 to 0.93; p = 0.002), bleeding (adjusted HR 1.79; 95% CI 1.52 to 2.10; p < 0.0001), renal dysfunction adjusted HR (1.60; 95% CI 1.40 to 1.84; p < 0.0001), hyperlipidemia (adjusted HR 1.61; 95% CI 1.40 to 1.85; p < 0.0001), arterial hypertension (adjusted HR 1.17; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.33; p = 0.015), diabetes (adjusted HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.35 to 1.78; p < 0.0001), age (adjusted HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.06; p < 0.0001), anemia on admission (adjusted HR 1.38; 95% CI 1.23 to 1.58; p < 0.0001), and heart failure (adjusted HR 2.40; 95% CI 2.09 to 2.75; p < 0.0001) predicted long-term mortality. CONCLUSION Female sex was associated with a lower risk of dying in the long term. However, risk factors, age, and comorbidities associated with female patients affected the worse outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the main causes of congestive heart failure (CHF). The main symptom of CHF is exercise tolerance impairment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for impaired exercise tolerance in patients after STEMI. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 84 patients with STEMI were analysed in the study. Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) was performed 6 months after STEMI. Impaired exercise tolerance defined as peak VO2 < 84% predicted for age and sex was present in 49 (58%) patients and was connected with lack of abciximab administration (91.4 versus 69%, P = 0·02) and the presence of mitral regurgitation (47 versus 23%, P = 0·02). In univariate analysis, the troponin I level at admission (OR 1·89, P = 0·047), the use of abciximab (OR 0·21, P = 0·03), the presence of mitral regurgitation (OR 2·98, P = 0·03) and NT-proBNP concentration (OR 2·17, P = 0·021) were related to impaired exercise tolerance. The best multivariate model for predicting impaired exercise tolerance included mitral regurgitation and lack of abciximab administration. CONCLUSIONS Impaired exercise tolerance after STEMI is common. Mitral regurgitation and lack of abciximab administration are the best predicting factors of impaired exercise tolerance after STEMI.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women irrespective of race or ethnicity, and about half of these deaths are caused by coronary artery disease. Several studies have reported that cardiovascular diseases manifest themself with a delay of about 7–10 years in women and that they have higher in-hospital mortality. It has not yet been established whether female gender itself, through biological and sociocultural differences, represents a risk factor for early in-hospital mortality in ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of our study was to identify the angiographic particularities in women with STEMI from North East Romania.
Material and Methods: For one year, 207 (31.7%) women and 445 (68.3%) men diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction were hospitalized in the Cardiology Clinic of the “Prof. Dr. George I. M. Georgescu” Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Iași, Romania.
Results: The highest incidence of symptom onset was between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m., this morning polarization being more obvious in women. Within the first two hours of admission to the hospital, coronary angiography was performed in 78.1% of men and only 67.3% of women, the difference being statistically significant (p <0.05). We found that a large number of women had multivascular coronary disease (47.9% vs. 42.3%). At the same time, we found that left main disease and multivascular disease were more frequent in women than in men (3.8% vs. 0.7%, p = 0.001 for left main plus two-vessel disease, and 19.4% vs. 14.8%, p = 0.0005 for three-vessel disease).
Conclusions: In women, coronary events began more frequently in the morning, with atypical symptoms; also, fewer women presented to the hospital within the first 12 hours after the onset of the acute event. Compared to men, women from North East Romania present a higher incidence of multivascular atherosclerotic coronary lessions, indicating a higher severity of STEMI in the female population from this geographical area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, the majority of patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) are treated with primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). In recent years, there have been ongoing improvements in PCI techniques, devices and concomitant pharmacotherapy. However, reports on further mortality reduction among PCI-treated STEMI patients remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was to compare changes in management and mortality in PCI-treated STEMI patients between 2005 and 2011 in a real-life setting. METHODS Data on 79,522 PCI-treated patients with STEMI from Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (PL-ACS) admitted to Polish hospitals between 2005 and 2011 were analyzed. First, temporal trends of in-hospital management in men and women were presented. In the next step, patients from 2005 and 2011 were nearest neighbor matched on their propensity scores to compare in-hospital, 30-day and 1-year mortality rates and in-hospital management strategies and complications. RESULTS Some significant changes were noted in hospital management including shortening of median times from admission to PCI, increased use of drug-eluting stents, potent antiplatelet agents but also less frequent use of statin, beta-blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers. There was a strong tendency toward preforming additional PCI of non-infarct related arteries, especially in women. After propensity score adjustment there were significant changes in inhospital but not in 30-day or 1-year mortality rates between 2005 and 2011. The results were similar in men and women. CONCLUSIONS There were apparent changes in management and significant in-hospital mortality reductions in PCI-treated STEMI patients between 2005 and 2011. However, it did not result in 30-day or 1-year survival benefit at a population level. There may be room for improvement in the use of guideline-recommended pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Background: Female sex and South Asian race have been associated with poor clinical outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) but remain understudied in large real-world series. We therefore investigated the association of sex and race with clinical outcomes following PPCI. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of all patients undergoing PPCI for STEMI between January 2009 and December 2011 at a large UK cardiac centre. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared according to sex and race using Chi-square test, independent samples Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney U-test. Primary and secondary outcomes were 12-month major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) – defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization, analysed using Cox proportional hazard models adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors. Results: Three thousand and forty-nine patients were included. Women ( n=826) were older than men ( n=2223) (median age 69 vs. 60 years, p <0.01). Mortality (hazard ratio 1.48 (1.15–1.90)) and MACE (hazard ratio 1.40 (1.14–1.72)) were higher in women in univariable analysis. However, there were no significant sex-differences in mortality or MACE after age-stratification alone. Multivariable analysis also showed no significant differences in outcomes between sexes. South Asians ( n=297) were younger but had a higher prevalence of most risk factors than White patients ( n=2570). Mortality and MACE did not differ significantly between South Asian and White patients in univariable or multivariable analysis. Conclusion: MACE and mortality was not greater in women, or in South Asian patients following PPCI after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors including age, which was most strongly associated with both outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate gender differences in outcomes in patents with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) planned for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). SETTINGS A prespecified gender analysis of the multicentre, randomised, double-blind Administration of Ticagrelor in the catheterisation Laboratory or in the Ambulance for New ST elevation myocardial Infarction to open the Coronary artery. PARTICIPANTS Between September 2011 and October 2013, 1862 patients with STEMI and symptom duration <6 hours were included. INTERVENTIONS Patients were assigned to prehospital versus in-hospital administration of 180 mg ticagrelor. OUTCOMES The main objective was to study the association between gender and primary and secondary outcomes of the main study with a focus on the clinical efficacy and safety outcomes. PRIMARY OUTCOME the proportion of patients who did not have 70% resolution of ST-segment elevation and did not meet the criteria for Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow 3 at initial angiography. Secondary outcome: the composite of death, MI, stent thrombosis, stroke or urgent revascularisation and major or minor bleeding at 30 days. RESULTS Women were older, had higher TIMI risk score, longer prehospital delays and better TIMI flow in the infarct-related artery. Women had a threefold higher risk for all-cause mortality compared with men (5.7% vs 1.9%, HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.78 to 5.51). After adjustment, the difference was attenuated but remained statistically significant (HR 2.08, 95% CI 1.03 to 4.20). The incidence of major bleeding events was twofold to threefold higher in women compared with men. In the multivariable model, female gender was not an independent predictor of bleeding (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes major HR 1.45, 95% CI 0.73 to 2.86, TIMI major HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.47 to 3.48, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3-5 HR 1.45, 95% CI 0.72 to 2.91). There was no interaction between gender and efficacy or safety of randomised treatment. CONCLUSION In patients with STEMI planned for PPCI and treated with modern antiplatelet therapy, female gender was an independent predictor of short-term mortality. In contrast, the higher incidence of bleeding complications in women could mainly be explained by older age and clustering of comorbidities. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01347580;Post-results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the predictors of subsequent cardiovascular events in stable post-myocardial infarction patients in Taiwan. METHODS A total of 11,183 patients were recruited who had survived one year post-myocardial infarction without subsequent events of recurrent myocardial infarction or stroke from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Their composite cardiovascular event rates were identified. RESULTS The composite cardiovascular events rate in three year follow-up in the post-myocardial infarction population was 13.8%. Corresponding event rates were 5.8% recurrent myocardial infarction, 5.0% stroke, and 5.2% death. Independent factors associated with a higher risk of ischemic events or death included heart failure (hazard ratio (HR)=1.19), hypertension (HR=1.16), age (65-75 vs <65 years: HR=1.29; 75-85 vs <65 years: HR=1.50; >85 vs <65 years: HR=1.70), diabetes (HR=1.33), prior stroke (HR=1.24), chronic kidney disease (HR=1.4), atrial fibrillation (HR=1.27), and underutilization of guideline-based medication (HR=1.73). Composite risk for myocardial infarction, stroke and death increased progressively from 4.9% in patients with zero risk factor to 100.0% in patients with eight risk factors. CONCLUSIONS For acute myocardial infarction patients surviving one year without subsequent events of recurrent myocardial infarction or stroke, the risk of cardiovascular events remained high. Eight predictors identified patients at increased risk for subsequent cardiovascular events within the next three years. These results suggest an unmet need, particularly in patients with additional risk factors.

Abstract
No previous study has examined the differences in treatments and outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between patients with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a setting where coronary reperfusion therapy was readily available. This study aimed to examine whether coexisting RA affected likelihood of receiving coronary reperfusion therapy and in-hospital mortality among AMI patients in a Japanese nationwide setting where coronary reperfusion therapy was readily available. Using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we retrospectively identified patients admitted with AMI between 2010 and 2014 and created a matched-pair cohort of patients with and without RA based on age, sex, hospital, and admission year at a maximum ratio of 1:5. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses for associations of RA with likelihood of coronary reperfusion therapy and 30-day in-hospital mortality. There were no significant differences between the RA group (n = 938) and non-RA group (n = 3839) in the proportions of patients receiving coronary reperfusion therapy (on the day of admission 75.8% vs. 77.2%, P = 0.364; during hospitalization 87.1% vs. 87.3%, P = 0.913) and 30-day in-hospital mortality (5.9% vs. 5.9%, P = 1.000). Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that RA was not significantly associated with either likelihood of receiving coronary reperfusion therapy during hospitalization (odds ratio 1.02; 95% confidence interval 0.82-1.27; P = 0.837) or 30-day in-hospital mortality (odds ratio 1.16; 95% confidence interval 0.81-1.65; P = 0.419). Coexisting RA did not affect likelihood of receiving coronary reperfusion therapy or in-hospital mortality among AMI patients in a setting where reperfusion therapy was readily available.

Abstract
To determine gender differences and predictors of all-cause mortality (30 days and 1 year) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction/unstable angina pectoris and ST-elevation myocardial infarction) in the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) and Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) data sets, an analysis of prospectively collected data from 2007 to 2011 was performed. In total, 458,261 patients (BCIS: n = 368,492 [25.9% women]; Sweden: n = 89,769 [27.2% women]) who underwent PCI were included in this analysis. Using multiple regression analysis, in the BCIS registry, female gender was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality at 30 days (odds ratio [OR] 1.15, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.22, p <0.0001) and at 1 year (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.12, p <0.0001) after PCI for all patients. Likewise, in the SCAAR registry, female gender was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality at 30 days (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.26, p = 0.002) and 1 year (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.17, p = 0.006) after PCI for all patients. In both data sets, there was no statistically significant interaction between age and gender for all-cause mortality at 30 days (BCIS, p = 0.59; SCAAR, p = 0.40) and at 1 year (BCIS, p = 0.11; SCAAR, p = 0.83). In conclusion, despite advances in care, women compared with men continue to experience higher all-cause mortality after PCI for coronary artery disease. The patient's age at the time of PCI remains a strong predictive factor of mortality in this population. Strategies and further research are warranted to better address the management of coronary artery disease in women with possibly earlier diagnosis and more tailored treatments.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the impact of gender in outcomes of patients with ST segment myocardial infarction in a setting with limited access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention Methods In 1017 consecutive patients hospitalized with ST segment myocardial infarction during years 2008–2013, distribution of risk factors, therapeutic methods, heart failure and in-hospital mortality were compared between males and females. Association of gender and primary outcomes was determined after adjustment for confounding factors. Results Females were significantly older (66 ± 12.1 years vs. 59.5 ± 12.7 years, p < 0.001). Prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes was significantly higher in females (72.2% vs. 39%, p < 0.001, 36.1% vs. 20.3%, p < 0.001, 46.5% vs. 32.1%, p < 0.001, respectively). Presentation delay was similar in males and females. Females received reperfusion therapy more than males (63.2%vs. 55.8%, p = 0.032). Development of heart failure and in-hospital mortality were significantly higher in females (36.5% vs. 27.2%, p = 0.003 and 19.4% vs. 12.1%, p = 0.002, respectively). However in multivariate analysis, female gender was not independently associated with increased rate of heart failure and in-hospital mortality Conclusion In a center with low rate of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, crude rates of heart failure and in-hospital mortality are higher in females; however, the association is lost after adjustment for baseline characteristics

Abstract
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. In the United Kingdom in 2010, over 80,000 deaths were attributed to coronary heart disease, and one in 10 female deaths were due to coronary heart disease. Acute coronary syndrome, a subset of coronary heart disease, was responsible for 175,000 inpatient admissions in the United Kingdom in 2012. While men have traditionally been considered to be at higher risk of acute coronary syndrome, various studies have demonstrated that women often suffer from poorer outcomes following an adverse cardiovascular event. This gap is gradually narrowing with the introduction of advanced interventional strategies and pharmacotherapy. However, a better understanding of these differences is of crucial importance for the improvement of the pharmacological and interventional management of acute coronary syndrome and for the development of possible new gender-specific diagnostic and therapeutic options. The goals of this review are to evaluate gender differences in outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome in the current era and identify potential mechanisms behind these differences in outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in women. Women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions continue to have worse outcomes compared with men despite advancements in therapies. Furthermore, these differences are particularly pronounced among young men and women with myocardial infarctions. Differences in the pathophysiology of coronary artery plaque development, disease presentation, and recognition likely contribute to these outcome disparities. Despite having worse outcomes compared with men, women clearly benefit from aggressive treatment and the latest therapies. This article reviews the treatment options for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions and the outcomes of women after treatment with reperfusion therapies.

Abstract
Introduction Measurement of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure (CHF) and pneumonia (PN) is a high priority since these are common reasons for hospitalization. However, mortality in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that are hospitalized for these common medical conditions is unknown. Methods A retrospective review of the 2005–2011 National Inpatient Sample (NIS), (approximately a 20% sample of discharges from community hospitals) was performed. A dataset for all patients with ICD-9-CM codes for primary diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia or congestive heart failure with a co-diagnosis of IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). 1:3 propensity score matching between patients with co-diagnosed disease vs. controls was performed. Continuous variables were compared between IBD and controls. Categorical variables were reported as frequency (percentage) and analyzed by Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact test for co-diagnosed disease vs. control comparisons. Propensity scores were computed through multivariable logistic regression accounting for demographic and hospital factors. In-hospital mortality between the groups was compared. Results Patients with IBD, CD and UC had improved survival after AMI compared to controls. 94/2280 (4.1%) of patients with IBD and AMI died, compared to 251/5460 (5.5%) of controls, p = 0.01. This represents a 25% improved survival in IBD patients that were hospitalized with AMI. There was a 34% improved survival in patients with CD and AMI. There was a trend toward worsening survival in patients with IBD and CHF. Patients with CD and PN had improved survival compared to controls. 87/3362 (2.59%) patients with CD and PN died, compared to 428/10076 (4.25%) of controls, p < .0001. This represents a 39% improved survival in patients with CD that are hospitalized for PN. Conclusion IBD confers a survival benefit for patients hospitalized with AMI. A diagnosis of CD benefits survival in patients that are hospitalized with PN.

Clinical profile and 30-day outcome of women with acute coronary syndrome as a first manifestation of ischemic heart disease: A single-center observational study. Indian Heart J 2016; 68:164-8. [PMID: 27133325 DOI: 10.1016/j.ihj.2015.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2015] [Revised: 07/22/2015] [Accepted: 08/04/2015] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gender disparity, with respect to women receiving less medical therapy, undergoing fewer invasive procedures, and experiencing worse outcome than men, has been noted in various observational and randomized trials, though guidelines on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are gender-neutral. Indian data with focus on women with ACS are lacking. AIM This study was undertaken to give us an insight on the clinical presentation, risk factors, and in-hospital outcome of ACS in women and at 30 days. MATERIALS AND METHODS 133 successive cases of women presenting with ACS, who met the inclusion criteria between 2012 and 2014, were included. Cases were grouped into ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The mean age was 64.4±11 years. The mean BMI was 23.64±3.23kg/m(2). Diabetes was present in 58.3% in NSTEMI, 65.1% in STEMI, and 57.1% in UA group. Hypertension was found in 75% of NSTEMI, 60.2% of STEMI, and 71.4% of UA group. Severe MR was found in 11.1% of NSTEMI and 3.6% of STEMI patients. 8.3% of NSTEMI and 15.7% of STEMI patients presented in Killips class IV. Single vessel disease was most commonly found across the spectrum of ACS. 68.7% patients in STEMI group underwent primary angioplasty. 5.6% of NSTEMI and 7.2% in STEMI group had contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). All deaths were noted in STEMI group with eight in-hospital deaths and three during 30-day follow-up period. Killips class III and IV and higher grace score (>150) were predictors of in-hospital mortality. Chronic kidney disease, ischemic mitral regurgitation, LV clot, and in-hospital cardiac arrest were associated with higher risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data about gender as an independent risk factor for death in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is still contrasting. Aim was to assess how gender influences in-hospital and long-term all-cause mortality in STEMI patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in our region. METHODS We analysed data from 2069 STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI in our institution from January 2009-December 2014, of whom 28.9% were women. In-hospital and long-term mortality were observed in women and men. The effect of gender on in-hospital mortality was assessed by binary logistic regression modelling and by Cox regression analysis for long-term mortality. RESULTS Women were older (68.3±61.8 vs 61.8±12.0 years; p<0.0001), with a higher prevalence of diabetes (13.7% vs 9.9%; p=0.013) and tend to be more frequently admitted in cardiogenic shock (8.4% vs 6.3%; p =0.085). They were less frequently treated with bivalirudin (15.9% vs 20.3%; p=0.022). In-hospital mortality was higher among women (14.2% vs 7.8%; p<0.0001). After adjustment, age (adjusted OR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.08; p < 0.001) and cardiogenic shock at admission (adjusted OR: 24.56; 95% CI: 11.98 to 50.35; p < 0.001), but not sex (adjusted OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 0.80 to 2.71) were identified as prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality. During the median follow-up of 27 months (25th, 75th percentile: 9, 48) the mortality rate (23.6% vs 15.1%; p<0.0001) was significantly higher in women. The multivariate adjusted Cox regression model identified age (HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.04-1.07; p<0.0001), cardiogenic shock at admission (HR 6.09; 95% CI 3.78-9.81; p<0.0001), hypertension (HR 1.49; 95% CI 1.02-2.18; p<0.046), but not sex (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.74-1.47) as independent prognostic factors of follow-up mortality. CONCLUSION Older age and worse clinical presentation rather than gender may explain the higher mortality rate in women with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The long-term prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) aged 45 years or younger and differences according to gender have not been well characterized. METHODS We included 16,685 consecutive STEMI patients from 2003 to 2012 (67,992 patient-years follow-up) from the Eastern Danish Heart Registry and the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry who were treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). RESULTS We identified 1026 (6.2%) patients up to 45 years of age (mean age: 40.7 vs. 66.3 years, P<0.001). Patients in the young group were predominantly men (79.7% vs. 71.9%) and smokers (71.2% vs. 44.2%, P<0.001) but with a lower prevalence of hypertension (17.3% vs. 39.3%), hyperlipidemia (18.0% vs. 23.8%), diabetes (9.0% vs. 12.4%) and previous myocardial infarction (6.9% vs. 12.2%, all P<0.001) compared with older patients. Young patients had a 0.8% annual mortality. During the follow-up period 6.3% of young patients died vs. 28.5% of older patients (P<0.001). Both 30-day-mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.12-0.54, P<0.001) and mortality after 30 days and onwards (HR=0.25, CI: 0.17-0.37, P<0.001) were significantly lower in the young group. There was no difference in short-term (HR=0.78, CI: 0.32-1.90, P=0.59) or long-term (HR=0.62, CI: 0.33-1.91, P=0.59) mortality between women and men in the young group (HR=0.79, CI: 0.21-1.80, P=0.39). CONCLUSIONS STEMI patients, aged 45 years or younger, have an excellent prognosis after treatment with primary PCI. Long-term annual survival is more than 99% in these patients. Young women with STEMI do not have a worse long-term prognosis than young men with STEMI.

Abstract
Little is known regarding gender differences in left ventricular (LV) function after anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), despite it being a major determinant of patients' morbidity and mortality. We therefore sought to investigate the impact of gender on LV function after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for first anterior wall STEMI. Seven hundred eighty-nine consecutive patients (625 men) with first anterior STEMI were included in the analysis. All patients underwent an echocardiographic study within 48 hours of PCI. Women were older and more likely to have diabetes, hypertension, chronic renal failure, and a higher Killip score. Women had prolonged ischemic time, which was driven by prolonged symptom-to-presentation time (2.75 [interquartile range 1.5 to 4] vs 2 [interquartile range 1 to 3.5] hours, p = 0.005). A higher percentage of women had moderate or worse LV dysfunction (LV ejection fraction <40%; 61.6% vs 48%, p = 0.002). In a univariable analysis female gender was associated with moderate or worse LV function (p = 0.002). However, after accounting for variable baseline risk profiles between the 2 groups using multivariable and propensity score techniques, ischemic time >3.5 hours, leukocytosis, and pre-PCI Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade <2 were independent predictors of moderate or worse LV dysfunction, whereas female gender was not. Data on LV function recovery at 6 months, which were available for 45% of female and male patients with moderate or worse LV dysfunction early after PCI, showed no significant gender related difference in LV function recovery. In conclusion, women undergoing PCI for the first event of anterior STEMI demonstrate worse LV function than that of men, which might be partially attributed to delay in presentation. Hence greater efforts should be devoted to increasing women's awareness of cardiac symptoms during the prehospital course of STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with high mortality. Previous studies regarding gender-specific differences in CS are conflicting and there are insufficient data for the presence of gender-associated differences in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention era. Aim of this study was therefore to investigate gender-specific differences in a large cohort of AMI patients with CS undergoing contemporary treatment. METHODS In the randomized Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in Cardiogenic Shock II (IABP-SHOCK II) trial, 600 patients with CS complicating AMI undergoing early revascularization were assigned to therapy with or without intra-aortic balloon pump. We compared sex-specific differences in these patients with regard to baseline and procedural characteristics as well as short- and long-term clinical outcome. RESULTS Of 600 patients 187 (31%) were female. Women were significantly older than men and had a significantly lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure at presentation (p < 0.05 for all). Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were more frequent in women, whereas smoking was more frequent in men (p < 0.05 for all). Women showed a higher mortality within the first day after randomization (p = 0.004). However, after multivariable adjustment this numerical difference was no longer statistically significant. No gender-related differences in clinical outcome were observed after 1, 6 and 12 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION In this large-scale multicenter study in patients with CS complicating AMI, women had a worse-risk profile in comparison to men. No significant gender-related differences in treatment as well as short- and long-term outcome were observed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death amongst women, with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) representing a significant proportion. It has been reported that in women presenting with ACS there is underdiagnosis and consequent undertreatment leading to an increase in hospital and long-term mortality. Several factors have to be taken into account, including lack of awareness both at patient and at physician level. Women are generally not aware of the cardiovascular risk and symptoms, often atypical, and therefore wait longer to seek medical attention. In addition, physicians often underestimate the risk of ACS in women leading to a further delay in accurate diagnosis and timely appropriate treatment, including cardiac catheterisation and primary percutaneous coronary intervention, with consequent delayed revascularisation times. It has been acknowledged by the European Society of Cardiology that gender disparities do exist, with a Class I, Level of Evidence B recommendation that both genders should be treated in the same way when presenting with ACS. However, there is still a lack of awareness and the mission of Women in Innovation, in association with Stent for Life, is to change the perception of women with ACS and to achieve prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mortality rate among patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in the setting of cardiac arrest (CA) and whether the location where the patient sustains CA influences the outcome is not known in the contemporary era. METHODS Prospectively collected data at a tertiary cardiac centre on all patients undergoing PPCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the setting of CA was analysed. RESULTS In total, 484/4118 (11.8%) patients sustained CA during the study period. Of these, 91/484 (18.8%) sustained CA prior to ambulance arrival, the remainder occurred either after ambulance arrival or in hospital. The overall in-hospital mortality was 20.5% in this cohort. Those sustaining CA before ambulance arrival experienced the highest unadjusted mortality compared to those that had CA after ambulance arrival, in hospital and in the catheterisation laboratory (29.7% versus 12.0%, 16.1% and 23.8% respectively, p=0.03). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the following parameters are independent predictors of in-hospital mortality: age (odds ratio (OR) for each year increment of age 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.08, p=0.0009); female gender (OR 2.42; 95% CI 1.17-4.99, p=0.0173); previous PCI (OR 7.59; 95% CI 1.72-33.53, p=0.0075); asystole/ electromechanical dissociation (EMD) (OR 13.43; 95% CI 5.34-33.80, p<0.0001); and patient location at arrest (OR 5.77 for before ambulance arrival; 95% CI 2.55-13.07, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, in-hospital mortality remains high among patients undergoing PPCI in the context of CA, particularly among those that arrest prior to ambulance arrival.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To analyze sex-based differences in clinical characteristics, management, and 28-day and 7-year prognosis after a first myocardial infarction. METHODS Between 2001 and 2003, 2042 first myocardial infarction patients were consecutively registered in 6 Spanish hospitals. Clinical characteristics, management, and 28-day case-fatality were prospectively recorded. Seven-year vital status was also ascertained by data linkage with the National Mortality Index. RESULTS The registry included 449 women and 1593 men with a first myocardial infarction. Compared with men, women were older, had a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, and were more likely to receive angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors but were less likely to receive beta-blockers or thrombolysis. No differences were observed in use of invasive procedures. More women had non-ST-segment elevation and unclassified myocardial infarction than men (37.9% vs 31.3% and 9.8% vs 6.1%, respectively; both P<.001). Case-fatality at 28 days was similar in women and men (5.57% vs 4.46%; P=.39). After multivariate adjustment, the odds ratio of 28-day mortality for men was 1.06 (95% confidence interval: 0.49-2.27; P=.883) compared with women. After multivariate adjustment, men had higher 7-year mortality than women, hazard ratio 1.93 (95% confidence interval: 1.46-2.56; P<.001). CONCLUSIONS There are demographic and clinical differences between men and women with a first myocardial infarction. The short-term prognosis of a first myocardial infarction in this century is similar in both sexes. However, the long-term vital prognosis after a first myocardial infarction is worse in men than in women. These results are observed in both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of type 2 diabetes on the clinical course and prognosis of women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 26,035 consecutive patients with STEMI who were hospitalized in 456 hospitals in Poland during 1 year were analyzed. The data were obtained from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (PL-ACS). RESULTS Type 2 diabetes occurred more frequently in women than in men (28 vs. 16.6%; P < 0.0001). The proportion of women was larger among patients with diabetes (47.1 vs. 31.3%; P < 0.0001), and compared with women without diabetes, diabetic women had worse clinical profiles. Women with diabetes were most frequently treated conservatively. Both women and men with diabetes had significantly more advanced atherosclerotic lesions than women without diabetes. Women with diabetes had the highest in-hospital, 6-month, and 1-year mortality rates. Multivariate analysis indicated that type 2 diabetes was a significant independent risk factor for in-hospital and 1-year mortality in women with STEMI. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) was a significant factor associated with the decreased 1-year mortality in women without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes was a significant independent risk factor for in-hospital and 1-year mortality in women with STEMI. Women with diabetes had the poorest early and 1-year prognoses after STEMI when compared with women without diabetes and men with diabetes. Although pPCI improves the long-term prognosis of women with diabetes, it is used less frequently than in women without diabetes or men with diabetes.

Abstract
Among patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cardiogenic shock (CS) is the leading cause of death, complicating up to 10% of admissions. Introduction of early revascularization strategies and mechanical ventricular support have seen short-term mortality associated with CS fall from 70% to 80% in the 1970s to approximately 50% to 60% in the 1990s. Previous studies reported a higher incidence of CS after AMI in women (11.6% vs 8.3%). The aims of this study were to determine hospital mortality outcomes and gender differences following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in the setting of CS. Data were collected prospectively among all patients undergoing PPCI for AMI at a large UK tertiary cardiac center between April 2008 and October 2011. A sample of 2,864 patients (women: 844 [29.5%]) underwent PPCI, of which 141 (4.9%) had a confirmed diagnosis of CS. Eighty-one of 2,019 [4.0%] male patients (mean age: 64.2 years) and 60 of 844 [7.1%]) female patients (mean age: 69.9 years) with CS underwent PPCI (p <0.001). The overall hospital mortality was 35.5% with no gender difference (male: 35.8% vs female: 35%, p >0.99). In conclusion, this analysis demonstrates that in the contemporary PPCI era, there is a reduction in the incidence of CS with reduced hospital mortality rates and no gender difference. The absence of a gender difference is remarkable because higher proportions of women presented with CS and were older than their male counterparts. Long-term follow-up data are required to determine if this difference is sustained.

Comparison of hospital mortality during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the era of reperfusion therapy in women versus men and in older versus younger patients. Am J Cardiol 2013; 111:1708-13.

Abstract
There is intense interest in examining hospital mortality in relation to gender in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The aim of the present study was to determine whether gender influences outcomes in men and women treated with the same patency-oriented reperfusion strategy. The influence of gender on hospital mortality was tested using multivariate analysis and local regression. The influence of age was tested as a continuous and as a categorical variable. In the overall population of 2,600 consecutive patients, gender was not correlated with hospital mortality except in the subgroup of women aged ≥65 years. The risk for death increased linearly in logit scale for men. Up to the age of 65 years, the risk also increased linearly in women but thereafter increased faster than in men. Testing age as a categorical variable, hospital mortality was higher in women than in men aged ≥75 years but was similar between the genders in the younger age categories. In conclusion, despite following an equal patency-oriented management strategy in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions, the risk for hospital death increased linearly with age but with an interaction between age and gender such that older women had an independent increase in hospital mortality. Longer time to presentation and worse baseline characteristics probably contributed to determine a high-risk subset but reinforce the need to apply, as recommended in the international guidelines in the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions, the same strategy of acute reperfusion in men and women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies on gender differences in outcome in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been performed, but most of those are from before the current era of PCI technique and medical therapy and have a short duration of follow-up. The objective of our study is to assess the influence of gender on long-term outcome in patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) between January 2006 and May 2008. METHODS Two-year follow-up data from 202 female and 668 male patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI were available from the DEBATER (A Comparison of Drug Eluting and Bare Metal Stents for Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with or without Abciximab in ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction: The Eindhoven Reperfusion Study) trial database. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization. RESULTS Women were older (64.7 ± 11.7 vs. 59.0 ± 10.7; P < 0.001), and had more often diabetes mellitus (15% vs. 9%; P = 0.01) and hypertension (44% vs. 25%; P < 0.001). At two years, the rate of MACE was significantly higher in women (21% vs. 14%; P = 0.02). The mortality rate in women was 8% versus 2.6% in men (P < 0.001). However, multivariate analysis after adjustment for age and the baseline characteristics hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, stent diameter, and time between onset of symptoms and arrival of the ambulance showed similar MACE and mortality rates in men and women. CONCLUSION Women have higher rates of both MACE and mortality after primary PCI for STEMI compared to men because of higher age with higher baseline risk profiles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of a concurrent CTO in men and women and to examine its impact on mortality. BACKGROUND The impact of chronic total occlusion (CTO) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) according to gender has not been assessed. METHODS Patients referred with STEMI were categorized into single vessel disease (SVD), multivessel disease (MVD) without, with 1 or > 1 CTO. The primary end-point was the 1-year mortality. RESULTS Among the 2020 STEMI patients included between 2006 and 2011, 24% were female. Women were older, had more hypertension and renal failure (P < 0.0001 for all). The prevalence of 1 or > 1 concurrent CTO was similar in both sexes, 7 and 1%, respectively. Early and late mortality was significantly higher in women compared with men (P < 0.0001). In women, the mortality was significantly worse in patients with > 1 CTO (100%) and with 1 CTO (36.4%) compared with those with MVD without CTO (18.4%) or with SVD (10.4%) (P < 0.0001). MVD with and without concurrent CTO were both independent predictors of 1-year mortality in women (HR 3.58; 95 % CI 1.69-7.18 and HR 2.76; 95 % CI 1.33-5.51) whereas only MVD with CTO was predictive in men (HR 2.19; 95% CI 1.20-3.97). CONCLUSIONS Among unselected STEMI patients, the prevalence of CTO was equal in both sexes whereas early and late mortality remained significantly higher in women. Other factors than the presence of a concurrent CTO must be explored to explain differences in survival after STEMI between women and men.

Influence of gender on ischemic times and outcomes after ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Am J Cardiol 2013; 111:312-8.

Abstract
Previous studies investigating the influence of gender on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction have reported conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of gender on ischemic times and outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention in modern practice. The present multicenter registry included consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention at 3 hospitals. Adjusted mortality rates were calculated using Cox proportional-hazards analyses. In total, 3,483 patients were included, of whom 868 were women (25%). Women were older, had a higher risk factor burden, and more frequently had histories of malignancy. Men more often had cardiac histories and peripheral vascular disease. Ischemic times were longer in women (median 192 minutes [interquartile range 141 to 286] vs 175 minutes [interquartile range 128 to 279] in men, p = 0.002). However, multivariate linear regression showed that this was due to age and co-morbidity. All-cause mortality was higher at 7 days (6.0% in women vs 3.0% in men, p <0.001) and at 1 year (9.9% in women vs 6.6% in men, p = 0.001). After adjustment, female gender predicted 7 day all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.61, 95% confidence interval 1.06 to 2.46) and cardiac mortality (hazard ratio 1.58, 95% confidence interval 1.03 to 2.42) but not 1-year mortality. Moreover, gender was an independent effect modifier for cardiogenic shock, leading to substantially worse outcomes in women. In conclusion, ischemic times remain longer in women because of age and co-morbidity. Female gender independently predicted early all-cause and cardiac mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and a strong interaction between gender and cardiogenic shock was observed.

Abstract
The management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has significantly advanced from supportive care to reperfusion therapies with thrombolytics and percutaneous coronary revascularization techniques. These advances have improved the outcomes of patients with STEMI. Although cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women, the minority of patients in trials studying the impact of these therapies on outcomes are women. Multiple studies have shown that men and women do not have equivalent outcomes after STEMI. This article reviews the treatment options for STEMI and the outcomes of women after treatment with reperfusion therapies.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) describes the physiologic state in which reduced cardiac output and resultant tissue hypoxia occur in the presence of adequate intravascular volume. Among patients hospitalized with myocardial infarction (MI), CS is the foremost cause of death. Women are more susceptible to CS than men in the setting of ST segment increase MI. Introduction of early revascularization strategies and mechanical ventricular support have seen a decrease in short-term mortality from CS. However, the prognosis following CS remains poor. This article examines the prevalence, causes, pathophysiology, and therapeutic options for CS among women.
