| Abstract | Introduction: There are both biological and sociocultural differences in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Inequalities in the prognosis between women and men are due to several variables, including specific risk factors for females, discrepancies in treatment strategies, and pathophysiological differences. Objective: To identify gender differences in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out on the gender differences in 170 patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome who were discharged from the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the Comandante Manuel Fajardo Clinical-Surgical Hospital in 2016 and 2017. Results: Females had a statistically very significant association, with a higher mean age (68 vs. 62, P<.01) and with a history of arterial hypertension (91.2 vs. 72.3% P<.01). The smoking habit showed a statistically significant association with male individuals (50.5 vs. 30.4% P=.017). Males had a significantly higher median creatinine (90μmol/L vs. 80μmol/L, P<.01). Women showed an increased risk of haemodynamic complications (OR=3.11, 95% CI=1.20-8.04). Conclusions: In women with acute coronary syndrome, being female is associated with older age, a history of arterial hypertension, and the appearance of haemodynamic complications during admission. Males are associated with smoking habits and higher concentrations of serum creatinine. |
