title: The prognosis for women after an acute myocardial infarction: recommendations for practice.
abstract: Women have different needs than men after a myocardial infarction. Therefore, nursing care for women should be based on current research rather than research based on findings using the "male model." This article examines research on the prognosis for women after a myocardial infarction and recommends practice changes for the critical care nurse based on these findings.
