    Women with suspected myocardial infarction (MI) face challenges in diagnosis and treatment compared to men, often presenting atypically.

  • 2

    Ischemic ECGs were more frequently observed in men, with 63% presenting compared to 52% of women, indicating a gender disparity.

  • 3

    In female patients, ischemic ECGs significantly predicted the need for target lesion revascularization (TLR) with an odds ratio of 1.86.

  • 4

    The study found a significant association between ischemic ECG changes and both intrahospital and 5-year mortality in both sexes.

  • 5

    Overall, ischemic prehospital ECGs are crucial for identifying high-risk female patients requiring TLR and assessing mortality risk.
