Long-term gender disparities in new-onset heart failure after acute coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

A paucity of studies addressed sex-related differences in clinical outcomes in the long term following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In these patients, it remains uncertain whether heart failure (HF) might exert a differential impact on the prognosis in the long term.

Methods

We queried a large-scale database of ACS patients undergoing PCI. The primary endpoint was new-onset HF. Secondary endpoints included mortality, myocardial infarction, re-PCI and ischaemic stroke. Propensity score matching was generated to balance group characteristics. A total of 3334 patients after propensity score matching were analysed. Follow-up was assessed at the 5 year term.

Results

At 5 year follow-up, HF risk increased signific
