Anterior location of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) represents abrupt occlusion of left ascending coronary artery (LAD) causing greater myocardial damage and greater extent of adverse remodeling compared to non-anterior infarctions [1,2] increasing the risk of heart failure [3] and death [4]. Mortality after STEMI increases with age [5] and female gender is also associated with increased mortality after STEMI [6]. Relationships of age and gender with location of STEMI are however largely uncharacterized.
