ACC Latin America 2026 studies highlight sex and regional disparities in heart attack care
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) Latin America 2026 conference will feature four studies examining sex-based and regional disparities in the management and outcomes of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) across Latin America. The research specifically focuses on women, who are identified as a higher-risk yet underrepresented patient group in heart attack care.
Why it matters
These studies are crucial for identifying and addressing inequities in cardiovascular healthcare, potentially leading to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for women and specific regions in Latin America.
