Effects of exercise to exhaustion in rat myocardium. A stereological study.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:This study sought to compare characteristics and management of myocardial infarction in men and women, and whether a difference in management would translate into a difference in in-hospital mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS:Data were prospectively collected in 2,519 patients (801 women) admitted in all hospita...
