Summary:There is limited research on plaque characteristics of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients according to the gender and age. 280 Consecutive STEMI patients who underwent VH-IVUS imaging on culprit before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in this study. Women were significantly older than men (69.8 ± 10 vs. 55.9 ± 11.3, p
