Incidence and Prognostic Implications of Stable Angina Pectoris Among Women and Men

Abstract

Women have a similarly high incidence of stable angina compared with men. Furthermore, stable angina in women is associated with increased coronary mortality relative to women in the general population and, among easily identifiable clinical subgroups, has similarly high absolute rates of prognostic outcomes compared with men.

Health Related Quality of Life in Coronary Patients

“…In this respect, it is worth highlighting that revascularization was carried out earlier in the men, which may have conditioned the worse clinical course observed in the women, who suffered higher frequencies of angina and rehospitalisation during follow-up. Hemingway et al (Hemingway et al, 2006) and Aguado-Romero and co-workers (Aguado-Romeo et al, 2006) detail the tendency to operate less on women with coronary disease than on men, although the latter try to justify these differences by referring to limitations in their data.…”

The burden of angina pectoris and its complications complications

“…For example, among those aged 55-64 years, test positive angina was associated with a 4.7 increased risk of death in women vs. 2.4 in men (p < 0.001 for interaction). 16 …”

Kararlı Koroner Arter Hastalığında Güncel İlaç Tedavisi

“…İskemik kalp hastalığı ile ilgili güncel çalışmalarda, ağırlıklı olarak, akut koroner sendromlarda izlenecek stratejiler üzerinde yoğunlaşılmıştır. Ancak tüm dünyada KAH yükü yalnızca akut koroner sendromlardan oluşmaz, koroner arter hastalığının sinsi, yaygın ve önemli bir güç kaybına neden olan kronik kararlı angina formuda bu yüke katkıda bulunur 4 . Revaskülarizasyon tekniklerinin artması ve bu alanda birçok yeniliklerin olmasına rağmen, halen iskemik kalp hastalığı olan çok fazla sayıdaki hastanın semptomları yeterli bir şekilde tedavi edilememektedir.…”
