Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to compare the prognoses of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and those with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and the risk associated with gender for future cardiovascular events. The study population was selected from 95,849 patients who underwent coronary angiography for myocardial infarction from 2005 to 2010 and registered in the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR). Outcome analyses, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke, and revascularization, were performed in 2,268 patients with STEMI and 10,904 with NSTEMI without obstructive CAD (
