Risk factors specific to women such as hypertension in pregnancy, premature births, gestational diabetes and menopause are among the unique aspects of cardiovascular health in women.
Objective: Women of childbearing age were considered protected and CVD were considered male diseases. A report from the European Heart Health Strategy (EuroHeart) finds that women are less likely to receive the same preventive advice as men and that women are still underrepresented in cardiovascular research
Risk factors are important for both men and women, but differ their impact was stronger in men and women. Especially in women, the presence of diabetes, hypertension and smoking is associated with a higher risk than in men. Female sex-specific risk factors related to hormonal and reproductive status that affect the risk of cardiovascular disease in women. These risk factors are related to hormonal status, pregnancy, some non-cardiac diseases with a higher prevalence in women and their treatment.
Conclusions. To improve the care of women with cardiovascular disease, it is necessary to realize that the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes can be problematic in women due to differences in symptoms. and presenting symptoms. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the importance of specific approaches in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CVD in women.
