The female anatomy itself may disguise ECG abnormalities after myocardial infarction (MI), according to an Al-enabled modeling study, raising questions of underdiagnosing acute Ml in women and gender equity in diagnostic thresholds.

🔎 AI modeling shows female heart anatomy can mask ECG changes after MI, risking underdiagnosis.

Heart size, position, and orientation affect signals, highlighting the need for sex-specific diagnostic thresholds and care.

Aspirin versus clopidogrel for chronic maintenance monotherapy after percutaneous coronary intervention: 10-year follow-up of the HOST-EXAM trial During 10 years of follow-up, clopidogrel monotherapy, compared with aspirin monotherapy, was associated with lower rates of the primary composite, ischaemic, and bleeding outcomes, but not all-cause mortality after PCI. These findings support consideration of clopidogrel as an alternative to aspirin for long-term antiplatelet monotherapy during the chronic maintenance phase after PCI.
