Show Notes
Women who present with acute coronary events are less frequently to be properly diagnosed and often have worse outcomes than men. Part of the problem may be that women are less apt to manifest increased biomarkers or often receive less aggressive guideline-mandated care. Women also have lower reference values for biomarkers of cardiac injury that are rarely taken into account.
