Women call an ambulance for husbands, fathers and brothers with heart attack symptoms but not for themselves. “It’s time for women take care of themselves too” is the main message of two studies from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (PL-ACS) presented today at Acute Cardiovascular Care 2019, a European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress. A total of 7,582 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were included in the analyses. Overall, 45% of patients were treated within the recommended timeframe — these patients were less often women.
