The impact of sex differences on 3-year outcomes of patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after successful stent implantation according to symptom-to-balloon time
CONCLUSIONS: This study has identified a higher 3-year mortality rate in female patients with NSTEMI and SBT <48 h compared to their male counterparts. As such, a more preventive approach may be required to reduce mortality in these female patients.PMID:37866718 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.09.018 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Cardiology)

Temporal trends in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Australia: A retrospective analysis from 2000-2021
CONCLUSIONS: There was a varying trend in the age-standardised rate of PCI with a peak in 2005/06. The trend appears to be stabilising in later part of the study period, but the rate for same day discharge episode showed an increasing trend after 2014/15. There is consistency with changepoints in the trend and updated PCI guideline recommendations. The ratio of PCI with insertion of stent to CABG procedure increased substantially across the study period.PMID:37863429 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2023.10.002 (Source: Hellenic Journal of Cardiology)
