Abstract
In this letter to the editor are highlighted the results of the article "Clinical characteristics of patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis". To this, it was carried out a comparative analysis between genders using the data reported by the authors and the finding was that mortality in women is higher. It was used Pearson's chi-square, and the results were statistically significant: p = 0.038, corrected chi-square p = 0.07. Given that the proportion of women is typically lower in reported series in the literature, these data are relevant despite the small sample size.
