Mortality caused by acute myocardial infarction in Qatari women

Age, sex, risk factors including smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, diabetes, pre-existing coronary heart disease, in-hospital mortality and morbidity, as well as acute medical care provided were analysed. [...]this study extends the observations of previous sex studies in an ethnic population that has not previously been studied, and is consistent with those studies in demonstrating higher co-morbid conditions and worse outcome in women compared to men.
