Women and Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
Activity Summary:
In the past decade, it has become increasingly clear that women and men with stable ischemic heart disease often present with different signs and symptoms. Some of these differences can reflect gender-based differences in disease pathophysiology and risks for clinical cardiovascular events, as well as the need for different diagnostic methods and treatment strategies.
These educational Mini Modules will outline the epidemiologic trends as well as the health and economic burden of SIHD in women. In addition, discussion will include gender-specific pathophysiologic factors in SIHD, diagnostic approaches, risk stratification, and management approaches in women with stable ischemic heart disease.
