Abstract:
Heart disease is known more as a killer of men than women, but U.S. women have surpassed men in prevalence of and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Although recent years have witnessed an upswing in education, awareness, and clinical research focused on heart disease in women, much work remains to reach a sufficient understanding of the differences in risk, presentation, and management of heart disease between the sexes to improve outcomes for women. Medical imaging has enhanced diagnosis and management of heart disease in women, especially by enabling less invasive approaches.
