Optimal ischemic heart disease treatment for women remains unclear. Despite advances, women are under-investigated and under-treated compared to men, indicating a need for improved cardiovascular care strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Gender Health

Background:

  • Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of mortality globally.
  • Significant progress in IHD prevention and treatment has been achieved.
  • However, optimal strategies and treatments specifically for women are not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gender differences in the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of ischemic heart disease.
  • To identify factors contributing to adverse outcomes in women with IHD.
  • To evaluate the current investigation and treatment patterns for IHD in women versus men.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of recent European survey data on ischemic heart disease.
  • Comparison of clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions between genders.

  • Evaluation of risk factors, complications, and prognosis in female and male IHD patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant gender disparities were observed in IHD presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
    • Women often present with atypical symptoms, at an older age, and with a higher prevalence of risk factors.
    • Evidence suggests women are under-investigated and under-treated in contemporary clinical practice compared to men.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender differences in ischemic heart disease necessitate tailored approaches.
    • Women with IHD face higher complication risks and adverse prognoses, partly due to atypical presentations and comorbidities.
    • Current clinical practice reveals under-investigation and under-treatment of women with IHD, highlighting a critical gap in cardiovascular care.
