Long-term outcomes for women versus men with unstable angina/non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction managed medically without revascularization: Insights from the TaRgeted platelet Inhibition to cLarify the Optimal strateGy to medicallY manage Acute Coronary Syndromes trial
Conclusions Long-term ischemic and bleeding outcomes in medically managed ACS patients were similar for women versus men, as was treatment-related platelet reactivity. Women had a higher baseline risk profile and, after adjustment, significantly lower risk of the primary composite end point and all-cause death through 30 months.
