The type of acute coronary syndromemay account for different prognoses between men andwomen aftermyocardial infarction. This study assessed gender differences in 28-daymortality rates for first or recurrent Q-wave and non-Q-wave myocardial infarctions and unstable angina by using data from 5 registries that included 20,836 patients (24.8%women). Mortality rates were higher in women with first Q-wave myocardial infarction but not in the other patients after adjusting for confounding variables.
