What is Sex Differences in Characteristics and Outcomes among Low-Risk Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients during Long Term Follow-Up about?

Previous heterogenous studies show conflicting data about sex-based outcomes of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients. This study evaluated 300 NSTE-ACS patients undergoing a coronary angiography between September 2012 and May 2015 that were managed with all-treatment strategies. The sample was stratified by sex and analyzed for the baseline characteristics and outcomes. The main outcome included major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), which were a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or urgent coronary revascularization. The female patients were older (median of 69.0 vs. 63.0 years, __p__ = 0.008) and had lower values of BMI (median of 26.3 vs. 28.2 kg/m^2^, __p__ < 0.001) and eGFR (76.44 ± 22.43 vs. 94.04 ± 27.91 mL/min, __p__ 0.05). The female patients had significantly higher unadjusted rates of ischemic stroke (4.2% vs. 0.5%, __p__ = 0.023), cardiac mortality (11.3%, vs. 3.9%, __p__ = 0.022) and MACCE (33.8%, vs. 19.5%, __p__ = 0.014); female sex was a significant predictor of MACCE in the univariate analysis (HR 1.86, 95%CI 1.12–3.09, __p__ = 0.014); and the cumulative incidence of MACCE
