The clinical presentation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) as ST-elevation ACS (STEACS) or non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTEACS) differs between women and men. The aim of this study was to describe the difference in the clinical presentation of ACS between sexes. A total of 10,019 patients included in the Epi-Cardio Registry were analyzed. A higher proportion of women than men presented with NSTEACS (60.3% vs 46.7%; P <0.001). The difference between sexes was driven by a higher prevalence of ACS with non-obstructive coronary arteries (20.9% vs 6.6%) mainly in young women, since ACS without coronary lesions were mostly NSTEACS (77.7% vs 22.3%). In patients with obstructive coronary heart disease, there were no differences in the clinical presentation between sexes. In conclusion, younger women are more likely than men to present ACS with non-obstructive coronary arteries, whereas no significant difference exists between sexes regarding the prevalence of ACS with obstructive coronary artery disease.
急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)的临床表现分为 ST 段抬高型 ACS(STEACS)和非 ST 段抬高型 ACS(NSTEACS),女性和男性之间存在差异。本研究旨在描述 ACS 临床表现的性别差异。共分析了 Epi-Cardio 注册中心纳入的 10019 例患者。与男性相比,女性中 NSTEACS 的比例更高(60.3%比 46.7%;P<0.001)。这种性别差异是由于非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病所致 ACS 的发生率更高(20.9%比 6.6%),主要是在年轻女性中,因为无冠状动脉病变的 ACS 大多为 NSTEACS(77.7%比 22.3%)。在阻塞性冠心病患者中,男女之间的临床表现无差异。总之,年轻女性比男性更有可能出现非阻塞性冠状动脉所致 ACS,而在阻塞性冠状动脉疾病所致 ACS 的患病率方面,男女之间没有显著差异。
