Background  There are considerable differences in the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and its cardiovascular risk factors between men and women. Due to the significance of gender as a factor that potentially affects cardiovascular disorders and patient outcomes, the present study aimed to assess the baseline characteristics and outcomes of CAD patients in terms of gender distribution.  Methods  All consecutive patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) who had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the previous two years in a comprehensive cardiology center were included. Data were retrospectively collected from the hospital record files. Color Doppler echocardiography, valvular involvement, and the type of coronary vessel involvement were also evaluated.  Results  In total, 557 consecutive patients (437 men and 120 women) were included with a mean age of 59.37 ± 26.23 years and 64.07 ± 11.60 years for men and women, respectively (p = 0.004). The prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was significantly higher among women than men.  Conclusion  Female patients who suffered from CAD and underwent PCI were older than men. Also, ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) were more prevalent among women, while smoking was more prevalent among men.
