Differences in seeking medical help for acute chest pain

When it comes to patients presenting with acute chest pain, men are more likely than women to call an ambulance promptly and seek medical help. Women, on the other hand, tend to delay seeking medical attention, even if they are experiencing a heart attack. This delay can be attributed to various factors, including differences in perception, social determinants, and healthcare access. It is important to address these disparities and encourage timely medical help for both genders to ensure better outcomes.
