Evidence of gender bias when applying the new diagnostic criteria for myocardial infarction: Figure 1
Authors:
Open Access
Abstract
As a separate issue, it has been repeatedly shown that women diagnosed as having had an MI tend to be managed less aggressively and have a poorer prognosis compared to men. However, since women tend to present when they are older it has been disputed that age rather than sex bias may be the reason.3Keywords
