Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the differences in invasive cardiac procedures and mortality rates between men and women who had acute myocardial infarction, using data from New Jersey hospitals in 1986-1987.
- Women were generally older, had more comorbidities, and were less likely to undergo invasive procedures like cardiac catheterization compared to men, despite having higher 3-year mortality rates.
- Overall, while cardiac catheterization was linked to improved survival, women, especially those under 70, faced higher mortality rates after adjusting for various health factors and access to care.
