Trends in acute coronary syndrome hospitalisation, incidence and mortality rates in young adults: an Australian linked data study
While reductions in ACS incidence and mortality overall are encouraging, this study highlights increasing NSTEMI incidence and a smaller decline in STEMI incidence in young women compared with young adult men. A better understanding of sex-specific factors responsible for increasing rates is essential to continue to improve cardiovascular health.
