2010, Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Women with suspected CAD traditionally have less frequent diagnostic evaluation, and when diagnosed, undergo less revascularization [2–5]. In addition, women experiencing MI have longer wait times to seek and receive treatment and worse in-hospital outcomes [6,7]. Despite these disparities in treatment of CAD, overall outcomes for women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have improved [8].

2009, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Data from the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction demonstrated that men were more likely than women to receive cardiac interventions after an AMI.10 In the Worcester Heart Attack Study, the likelihood of receiving a cardiac catheterization was nearly 50% higher in men than women.20 A study of Medicare patients with AMI in the mid-1990s showed that overweight patients were more likely to undergo cardiac procedures than patients with a normal body mass index.21
