Little is known about gender-associated differences in characteristics and survival of @entity712 @entity1 . The increasing incidence calls for investigating the possibilities of improved management. The purpose of the study was to determine gender-associated differences among emergency department @entity712 @entity1 in order to improve treatment quality and survival. A prospective observational study on 22,713 @entity1 was conducted at the University Hospital Center Emergency department during 2010 and included 726 consecutive @entity712 @entity1 . The most common cause of @entity712 was worsening of @entity712 . Females suffered more frequently from hypertensive @entity712 and males from @entity712 associated with @entity1187 . Females were older, with higher body mass index, @entity955 , @entity293 , @entity101 history, @entity101 at admission, and SAPS II score at admission. Males had a higher frequency of ST-elevation @entity583 and @entity384 , confirmed by ultrasound as lower ejection fraction and left ventricle dilatation with reduced ejection fraction. Males were more frequently smokers with a history of @entity1030 . The importance of treating @entity101 and @entity955 in @entity1 and @entity1187 and @entity1030 in @entity1 should be emphasized. Aggressive identification and management of all possible @entity712 etiologies should be recommended in the emergency department.
