Coronary heart disease (CAD), the leading cause of myocardial infarctions, or heart attacks, is most often caused by atherosclerosis. Heart attacks are a worldwide health issue because they can result in tissue damage or even death due to the occlusion of blood flow to the heart. In order to treat, prevent, and diagnose cardiovascular diseases, one must be aware of the causative factors. Symptoms present differently in both genders, and therefore it is difficult for the clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment. Methods of prevention and therapy in the modern world are described, and the role of micro-vascular disease in women becomes more and more acknowledged, so it is necessary to develop more advanced diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies. The etiology, clinical epidemiology, methods of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart attacks are discussed in this study.
