Gender features of acute myocardial infarction

In the structure of cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease (CHD) remains the leader among the causes of death in both men and women. More than 7 million people die annually from CHD, which is 12.8% of all deaths [1]. Every 6th man and every 7th woman in Europe dies from myocardial infarction (MI). Over the past 10 years, all over the world, there has been a steady trend towards a decrease in the incidence of myocardial infarction with an increase in the BT segment (BMI) on the electrocardiogram with a simultaneous increase in the incidence of myocardial infarction without an increase in the BT segment (IBMPBT).
