A major step forward for women at #ESCCongress 🫀
The new 5th Universal Definition of MI explicitly requires sex-specific 99th-percentile troponin thresholds recognizing that using the same cutoff in women and men can systematically underdiagnose myocardial injury in women
It also recognizes SCAD, coronary vasospasm & embolism as causes of primary MI—mechanisms especially important in women.
Women’s heart attacks don’t always look like men’s. Our definitions finally reflect that. We wanted to enforce this in the Cheat Pain guidelines but we didn’t have enough data in the US at that time. Glad this has changed!

For those interested in developing a research portfolio, here are some resources to listen. Except Cochrane course , you can start listening to rest and they are not super long.
Remember taking a course is a first step, translating into a deliverable is actual work.
