ABSTRACT

Introduction: ischemic cardiopathy constitutes the first fatal cause in Cuba. There are differences among sexes as to the factors of risk, the forms of presentation and the answer to the treatment. Objective: to study the differences between men and women with acute coronary syndrome with elevation of the segment ST treated with coronary intervention at the Military Central Hospital "Dr. Carlos JuanFinlay". Methods: it is a retrospective, descriptive and transversal study, of 395 patients, treated with percutaneous coronary intervention at the Military Central Hospital "Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay", of Cuba, with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome with elevation of the segment ST in the period between Octoberof 2006 and March of 2015. Results: the male sex predominated (68.1 %), the women's medium age was 63.30 ± 22.50 years vs. 59.35 ± 32 years the men`s medium age. All factors of risk predominated in the male sex except previous vascular encephalic accident. The one coronary artery disease was superior in men (58.7 %), but without signification (p< 0.0544). The descending anterior artery was the more affected in both sexes (54.4 %). The successful rate in the percutaneous intervention was superior to the 90 % in both sexes. Conclusions: there are differences regarding the age and principal factors of coronary risk, but it doesn`t exist in relation to the number of arteries disease and to the results of the coronary intervention.
