ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally and poses a threat to both men and women across their lifespans. There is accumulating evidence to support that CAD may present differently in women and men, ranging from the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of the disease to underlying differences in the biological and pathophysiological mechanisms. This has called for an expansion of our conventional tools used in the diagnosis and management of obstructive CAD. Understanding these key sex differences will potentially help tailor our diagnostic and treatment strategies and provide equitable and optimal care to both men and women. RECENT

FINDINGS:

Numerous studies have consistently shown that women with CAD tend to be older, have a higher burden of co-morbidities, and experience worse outcomes compared to their male counterparts. Women tend to wait longer to seek medical care for cardiovascular symptoms and when they do, they are usually referred late in the disease process and treated less aggressively. Women are significantly underrepresented in most cardiovascular clinical trials, thereby creating an important limitation in the evidence base used for treating cardiovascular disease in women. In this review, we sought to describe the sex-based considerations in evaluation and management of obstructive CAD, underscore the mechanisms behind these considerations, and help develop a more personalized approach according to current paradigms.
