[Benefits of an observatory for myocardial infarction in women under 50 : The WAMIF study].

The WAMIF study was conducted from 2017 to 2019 to include 314 patients in 30 French investigative centers in France. We have systematically collected the clinical, morphological and biological characteristics of cases of myocardial infarction affecting women under 50 years of age and evaluated their short-term (intra-hospital) and mid-term (at 12 months) prognosis. . The main results were: a particularly high incidence of modifiable risk factors affecting 86% of patients with smoking in the first place in 75% of them. The clinical presentation revealed chest pain in more than 90% of cases. The pathophysiological forms of acute coronary syndrome identified the culprit artery in 90% of cases, MI without obstruction (MINOCA) was found in 17.8% of the ST elevation MI (STEMI), spontaneous dissection in 14.6% of STEMI and 16.3% of NSTEMI. Hospital events included 3 strokes, 3 cases of bleeding and no deaths. At 12 months, follow-up showed no cardiovascular deaths. The results of this study allow us to better understand the particularities of cardiovascular diseases in women and thus to develop targeted strategies for prevention and improvement of their management.
