This study strongly suggests that NSTEMI presentation is more frequently observed in men with history of chronic CAD, more severe cardiometabolic profile and greater number of coronary lesions than STEMI. In contrast, STEMI is more frequently associated with single vessel disease, smoking and female sex. These differences might reflect differences in ischemic preconditioning related to the severity of the disease.

Abstract
This study strongly suggests that NSTEMI presentation is more frequently observed in men with history of chronic CAD, more severe cardiometabolic profile and greater number of coronary lesions than STEMI. In contrast, STEMI is more frequently associated with single vessel disease, smoking and female sex. These differences might reflect differences in ischemic preconditioning related to the severity of the disease.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
