"These differences persisted even after the team accounted for factors like the doctors’ years of experience.."

So, I'm having a little bit of trouble reconciling these two statements. Who are "such patients" and why wouldn't doctors with more years of experience have more experience treating them?

"Such patients" means women who had heart attacks. Apparently, "years of experience" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing? Maybe some kinds of experience are better than others?

But if you really want to dig into this you'll probably have to read the paper.
