- Abstract
- (en) [Woman and coronary artery disease] Despite higher incidence of coronary artery disease among males, women exhibit higher mortality rates. The diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome is often more challenging in women because the clinical presentation may be atypical. women with myocardial infarction are generally older and have more coronary risk factors. Conversely, women more often present with less pronounced coronary lesions, but experience more frequently angina symptoms, also referred to as the gender paradox. Some traditional cardiovascular risk factors also affect more adversely women than men, and others are specific to women
