Cardiovascular disease develops 7 to 10 years later in women than in men and is still the major cause of death in women. The risk of heart disease in women is often underestimated due to the misperception that females are 'protected' against cardiovascular disease. The under-recognition of heart disease and differences in clinical presentation in women lead to less aggressive treatment strategies and a lower representation of women in clinical trials. Furthermore, self-awareness in women and identification of their cardiovascular risk factors needs more attention, which should result in a better prevention of cardiovascular events. In this review we summarise the major issues that are important in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease in women. (Neth Heart J 2010;18:598-603.).
心血管疾病在女性中比在男性中晚发展 7 到 10 年，仍然是女性的主要死因。由于存在女性“免受”心血管疾病影响的误解，女性患心脏病的风险往往被低估。对心脏病的认识不足以及女性临床表现的差异导致治疗策略不够积极，女性在临床试验中的代表性也较低。此外，女性的自我意识和心血管危险因素的识别需要更多关注，这应该有助于更好地预防心血管事件。在这篇综述中，我们总结了在女性冠心病的诊断和治疗中重要的主要问题。(Neth Heart J 2010;18:598-603.)。
