摘要
Mortality from acute coronary syndrome has historically been higher in women as compared with men. We hypothesized that adoption of a more sensitive definition for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and managing patients according to the 2000 European Society of Cardiology and American College of Cardiology guidelines would reduce this difference.
