Abstract:
Objective: To explore the gender related differences of clinical symptoms and triggering factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in China.
Methods: A population of 14 854 AMI patients with CAMI registration from 2013-01 to 2014-03 were studied, which included 10999 (74.0%) male and 3855 (26.0%) female. The gender related differences of clinical symptoms and triggering factors were analyzed in the population.
Results: The chest pain and severe sweating were the most common symptoms of AMI patient, there were 66.4%of patients with persistent chest pain and 63.7%of patients with severe sweating. Male patients were more with chest pain (67.8%vs 62.4%) and severe sweating (65.8%vs 58.0%) than female, while female patients were more with radiating pain (36.0%vs 31.0%) and nausea/vomiting (35.6%vs 25.0%) than male, all P<0.05. There were 19.4%of patients having clear cause of AMI, and physical stress was the most frequent trigger (48.5%) for AMI. Male patients usually had clear cause than female (20.9%vs 15.1%), especially because of physical stress (49.5%vs 44.5%) and excessive recent unhealthy lifestyles (15.4%vs 8.8%), all P<0.05.
Conclusion: Chest pain and severe sweating were the most common clinical symptoms for AMI patients in China, about 1/5 of them had triggering factors and it was more in male patients.
