Abstract:
Recent reports of "sex bias" in the management of heart disease serves to focus on a more fundamental problem. Too little is known about the biology of heart disease in women or the reasons for striking differences in women's risks, prognosis, and treatment outcome--medical or surgical. Studies more sharply focused on these issues could improve treatment for half of the patient population.
