Background: The existence of gender differences in cause-specific mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is unknown. Aim: To study gender differences in all-cause and cause-specific mortality in women and men with AMI. Methods: Consecutive AMI patients were enrolled in a prospective cohort study during 2005-2011. Cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, treatment and in-hospital complications were registered. Date and cause of death were obtained from the Norwegian cause of death registry, with censoring date set to Dec 31, 2012. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) were analysed separately. We used Kaplan Meier- and cumulative incidence function-plots to assess gender differences in CV, cancer and all-cause mortality. Cox- and Fine-Gray regression models, adjusted for age, estimated the effect of female gender. Results: We included 5159 NSTEMI (34% women) and 4899 STEMI (25% women) patients. Women were older and had more complications compared to men. After a median follow-up time of 1043 and 1262 days for NSTEMI and STEMI, respectively, 1461 NSTEMI (28%) and 886 STEMI (18%) patients had died. After adjustment for age, NSTEMI women had lower (HR 0.89 [95% CI: 0.80-0.99]) and STEMI women similar (HR 1.05 [95% CI: 0.91-1.22]) risk of all-cause mortality compared to men. There were no gender differences in CV mortality. We observed a non-significant trend toward lower cancer mortality in women than men with NSTEMI (adjusted subhazard ratio 0.76 [95% CI:0.56-1.03]). In both genders, CV death was more prevalent (Figure) and occurred earlier than cancer death. Conclusion: After adjustment for age, there were no excess risks of all-cause or CV mortality in women versus men with AMI during long-term follow-up. Possible gender differences in risk of cancer mortality needs further investigation.
