Popis: It is unclear whether universal access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) may reduce sex differences in 1-year rehospitalization for heart failure (HF) and myocardial infarction (MI) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We studied 7,597 consecutive STEMI patients (13.8% women, n = 1,045) who underwent pPCI from January 2007 to December 2013. Cox regression models adjusted for competing risk from death were used to assess sex differences in rehospitalization for HF and MI within 1 year from discharge. Compared with men, women were older (median age 67.6 vs 56.0 years, p0.001) with higher prevalence of co-morbidities and multivessel disease. Women had longer median door-to-balloon time (76 vs 66 minutes, p0.001) and were less likely to receive drug-eluting stents (19.5% vs 24.1%, p = 0.001). Of the medications prescribed at discharge, fewer women received aspirin (95.8% vs 97.6%, p = 0.002) and P2Y
