title: [Fatal outcome of acute myocardial infarction in men and women].
abstract: An epidemiologic study of the outcomes of acute myocardial infarction, carried out according to the WHO Register of Acute Myocardial Infarction, demonstrated that overall mortality rates are similar for men and women between 20 and 69 years of age. Prehospital mortality was significantly higher in men, as compared to women, while the opposite was true for hospital mortality. Overall, prehospital and hospital mortality rates were relatively high in the younger patients, both male and female, an evidence of a more severe course of acute myocardial infarction at a younger age.
