Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis examines how sex affects mortality risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who lack standard modifiable risk factors (referred to as SMuRF-less) compared to those who have at least one risk factor (SMuRF).
- It analyzed data from eight studies, revealing that women in the SMuRF-less group had higher in-hospital mortality rates than men, while men showed no significant increase in mortality.
- The findings indicate that women without cardiovascular risk factors face greater short- and medium-term mortality risks after an ACS event compared to their male counterparts.
