Objective: To determine the epidemiological characteristics, location of the infarction, type and times of reperfusion, as well as in-hospital adverse events, distributed by sex in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Peru. Methods: It is a sub-analysis of the PEruvian Registry of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (PERSTEMI), which was an observational, prospective and multicenter study about patients over 18years-old, who were hospitalized for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Epidemiological and clinical characteristics, management and in-hospital adverse events were compared according to sex. Results: 396 patients were studied, 20.9% were female, with a predominance of octogenarian populationover men. High blood pressure was the most frequent risk factor in women (74.7 Vs. 50%, p =0.001); as well as atypical clinical manifestations suc...

Objetivo: Determinar las características epidemiológicas, localización del infarto, tipo y tiempos de reperfusión, así como los eventos adversos intrahospitalarios, distribuidos por sexo en pacientes con infarto de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST (IAMCEST) en Perú. Métodos: Es un sub-análisis del PEruvian Registry of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (PERSTEMI), el cual fue un estudio observacional, prospectivo y multicéntrico de pacientes mayores de 18 años que fueron hospitalizados por infarto de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST. Se compararon las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, manejo y eventos adversos intrahospitalarios según sexo. Resultados: De los 396 pacientes, se encontró un 20.9% de pacientes mujeres, con un predominio de población octogenaria sobre los hombres. La hipertensión arterial fue el factor de riesgo más frecuent...
