Further study details as provided by New York University School of Medicine:

Detailed Description:

The Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Arteries in Acute Coronary Syndromes (GUSTO) V trial examined a large, contemporary cohort of women and men with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with fibrinolytic therapy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate sex differences in presentation, management and outcome in GUSTO V.
