ABSTRACT

Background: ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, one third of female deaths worldwide.
Objective: to characterize myocardial infarction in female patients.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, with a sample of 47 female patients, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: 80.7 % of patients older than 60 years, the predominant age group were those between 61 and 70 years. The personal history of hypertension was present in 70% of the patients admitted, followed by hypertriglyceridemia. Among the most frequent manifestations, precordial pain is treated in 85 % of the population. 51.06 % of the patients studied had a myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation. The most frequent complications are cardiac arrhythmia followed by heart failure and intrahospital sepsis.
Conclusions: it was shown that the female sex is a predictor of worse outcomes among patients with acute myocardial infarction is still a topic in the discussion and that there is great heterogeneity in the published data.
