Abstract
Background Little data are available in women presenting with ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We assessed frequency, predictors of VF, and outcomes, with a special focus on women compared with men. Methods and Results Data were analyzed from the FAST‐MI (French Registry of Acute ST‐Elevation or Non‐ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction) program, which prospectively included 14 406 patients admitted to French cardiac intensive care units ≤48 hours from AMI onset between 1995 and 2015 (mean age, 66±14 years; 72% men; mean left ventricular ejection fraction, 52±12%; 59% with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction). A total of 359 patients developed VF during AMI, including 81 women (2.0% of 4091 women) and 278 men (2.7% of 10 315 men, P=0.02). ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR], 2.29 [95% CI, 1.75–2.99]; P
