“…This observation was confirmed by a number of subsequent studies [7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Early clinical trials suggested that the administration of estrogens to men with prostate cancer [12]and male survivors of myocardial infarction [13]might be associated with increased risk of CAD.…”

“…Cauley et al [21]and Slowinska-Srzednicka et al [22]found normal testosterone levels in frozen blood samples taken many years earlier from men who subsequently died from myocardial infarction. Several studies measuring testosterone levels in patients with CAD revealed by angiography found normal levels [3, 9, 11, 23], whereas others indicated decreased levels [14, 24, 25]. Levin et al [26]found normal levels of testosterone in men with angina pectoris, whereas Aksut et al [27]reported low levels.…”

“…English et al showed decreased levels of oestrogens in patients with coronary artery disease, a result which is contradictory to the results of most published studies, including ours which reported either normal or moderately increased oestrogen concentrations in patients with coronary artery disease [2,[10][11][12][13][14] . We believe that their result is mostly due to methodological problems.…”

“…1) estrogen levels in the body decreased significantly after menopause with women, while estrogen could increase endothelial cell-mediated dilation and delay the formation of arteriosclerosis; [29,30] 2) at the same time, the diameter of coronary artery in women is smaller than that in men, [31] so the stent placement would be relatively more damaging to blood vessels. Our study found that the risk of restenosis increased by 109%, 27%, and 121% for each additional stent of delayed PCI, NSTE-ACS and Stable angina.…”
