Sex-stratified outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention: A tertiary care experience

Abstract: Background ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an acute cardiac manifestation that requires immediate revascularization preferably through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aims to describe gender stratified outcomes and epidemiological profile of STEMI patients undergoing treatment at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods A 5-year, retrospective analysis of hospital records was undertaken on confirmed STEMI patients admitted between 2010 and 2014, undergoi… Show more

“…A 5-year retrospective study examined the sex disparity of post-PCI prognosis in patients with STEMI. 35 The findings demonstrated a higher incidence of in-hospital mortality and post-intervention complications in female participants than the male participants. Another study investigating patients with acute coronary syndrome revealed a higher risk of MACE in women after receiving PCI compared with men.…”

“…Clinically, women suffer from a higher risk of several cardiac conditions and greater complications. A 5-year retrospective study examined the sex disparity of post-PCI prognosis in patients with STEMI 35. The findings demonstrated a higher incidence of in-hospital mortality and post-intervention complications in female participants than the male participants.…”

“…Similar studies have been described before as well, but the main reasons to find this here were problems like higher comorbidity, differences in correct dosage [16][17] , variations in endothelial functions. It was stated by previous analysis that the use of primary PCI over fibrinolytic therapy is much more advantageous in case of acute myocardial infarction, in some cases the future risk for any myocardial event was not reduced by any of these therapies [18][19] . As per previous studies there was much lower chance of long term mortality in women as compared to men.…”

“…Currently, PCI (Percutaneous coronary intervention) has become a treatment option for AMI through which the patients’ vessels can be dredged in a short time so that the blood flow can be restored. The extent of infarcted myocardium and prognosis are able to get controlled as well [ 5 , 6 ]. In spite of that, complications such as coronary restenosis, ischemia, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVA) after PCI [ 7 ] cannot be completely avoided.…”
