Sex differences in inflammatory markers and health status among young adults with acute myocardial infarction: results from the VIRGO (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients) Study.
This study assessed sex differences in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) inflammatory markers and whether such differences account for sex differences in 12-month health status, using data from 2219 adults with AMI, 18 to 55 years of age, in the United States. Overall, women had higher levels of inflammatory markers after AMI compared with men, and this remained statistically significant after multivariable adjustment.
