Outcomes of <scp>ST‐elevation</scp> myocardial infarction by age and sex in a <scp>low‐income</scp> urban community: The Montefiore <scp>STEMI</scp> Registry

Abstract

These findings indicate a high burden of risk factors in younger adults with STEMI from an inner-city community. Programs to target sociobehavioral factors in disadvantaged settings, including substance abuse, obesity, and risk of HIV, are necessary to more effectively address health disparities in STEMI and its adverse consequences.
