Abstract

Background:Young women are presumed to be at low risk for coronary artery disease and may have pre-existing angina that is undetected until they present with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The health status (symptoms, function and quality of life) of patients prior to their AMI has received little attention in the medical literature and the pre-existing health status of young women presenting with an AMI, as compared with men, is unknown.
