Ischemic Heart Disease in Women

Med Clin North Am. 2024 May;108(3):567-579. doi: 10.1016/j.mcna.2023.11.001. Epub 2023 Dec 23.ABSTRACTThis review synthesizes the current understanding of ischemic heart disease in women, briefly discussing differences in risk factors, presentation, and treatment. We have underscored the unique clinical phenotype of IHD in women with a higher prevalence of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries. Further research is needed to elucidate the complexities of ischemic heart disease in women, understand the discordance between ischemic burden and clinical symptoms, and optimize treatment strategies.PMID:38548464 | DOI:10.1016/j.mcna.2023.11.001
