Sex differences in lipid profiles and treatment utilization among young adults with acute myocardial infarction: Results from the VIRGO study

Young women with AMI had slightly favorable lipid and lipoprotein profiles compared with men, suggesting that difference in lipid and lipoprotein may not be a major contributor to sex differences in outcomes after AMI. In both men and women, statin remained inadequately used, and low HDL cholesterol level was a major lipid abnormality.
