Abstract OBJECTIVES: To assess sex differences in clinical presentation, in-hospital and long-term outcome in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary PCI (PPCI). BACKGROUND: Several studies have shown higher rates of mortality in women. These differences are not always confirmed after adjusting for confounding variables. METHODS: From January 2007 to December 2011, 325 consecutive patients (23.1% females and 76.9% males) were prospectively treated and retrospectively analyzed.
