  • Significant differences exist in the pathophysiology and presentation of CAD between sexes.
  • Variations in traditional and psychosocial risk factors contribute to gender-based disparities.
  • Treatment approaches and outcomes for CAD also show notable gender-specific patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding gender-based differences in CAD is crucial for improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.
  • Addressing these disparities can lead to better health outcomes for women with coronary artery disease.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate and mitigate gender-specific challenges in cardiovascular care.
