According to a new study by lead author Wayne Batchelor, an FSU College of Medicine clerkship faculty member, women and minorities are at a greater risk of non-stent-related events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) - also known as an angioplasty. The study, published in  JAMA Cardiology , found that women and minorities experience similar rates of MACE (major adverse cardiac events) compared to white men, but are at a higher risk of non-stent-related events such as diabetes, prior stroke, hypertension, renal disease, and congestive heart failure.
