Abstract

Cardiovascular care sex differences are controversial. We examined sex differences in management and clinical outcomes among patients undergoing noninvasive testing for ischemic heart disease (IHD). In a rural integrated healthcare system, we identified adults age 40-79 without diagnosed IHD who underwent initial evaluation with a cardiac stress test with imaging or coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA), 2013-2014. We assessed sex differences in statin/aspirin therapy, revascularization, and adverse cardiovascular events. The 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association statin guidelines and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force aspirin guidelines were applied. Among 2213 patients evaluated for IHD, median age was 57 years, 48.8% were women, and 9% had a positive stress test/CTA. Women were more likely to be missing lipid values than men ( < 0.001). Mean ASCVD risk score at baseline was 7.2% in women versus 12.4% in men ( < 0.001). There was no significant sex difference in statin therapy at baseline or 60-day follow-up. Women were less likely than men to be taking aspirin at baseline (adj. diff. = -8.5%; 95% CI, -4.2 to -12.9) and follow-up (adj. diff. = -7.7%; 95% CI, -3.3 to -12.1). There were no sex differences in revascularization after accounting for obstructive CAD or adverse cardiovascular outcomes during median follow-up of 33 months. In this contemporary cohort of patients with suspected IHD, women were less likely to receive lipid testing and aspirin therapy, but not statin therapy. Women did not experience worse outcomes. Sex differences in statin therapy reported by others may be due to inadequate accounting for baseline risk.

摘要

心血管疾病的性别差异存在争议。我们研究了在接受非侵入性缺血性心脏病(IHD)检查的患者中,管理和临床结局的性别差异。在一个农村综合医疗保健系统中,我们确定了年龄在 40-79 岁之间、没有确诊 IHD 的成年人,他们在 2013-2014 年期间接受了心脏应激试验加影像学或冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影(CTA)的初始评估。我们评估了他汀类药物/阿司匹林治疗、血运重建和不良心血管事件的性别差异。应用了 2013 年美国心脏病学会/美国心脏协会他汀类药物指南和美国预防服务工作组阿司匹林指南。在 2213 名接受 IHD 评估的患者中,中位年龄为 57 岁,48.8%为女性,9%的患者应激试验/CTA 阳性。与男性相比,女性更有可能缺乏血脂值( < 0.001)。基线时平均 ASCVD 风险评分女性为 7.2%,男性为 12.4%( < 0.001)。基线和 60 天随访时,他汀类药物治疗无显著性别差异。与男性相比,女性在基线时(校正差值=−8.5%;95%CI,−4.2 至−12.9)和随访时(校正差值=−7.7%;95%CI,−3.3 至−12.1)更不可能服用阿司匹林。在中位随访 33 个月期间,在考虑到阻塞性 CAD 或不良心血管结局后,女性的血运重建无性别差异。在这个当代疑似 IHD 患者队列中,女性更不可能接受血脂检查和阿司匹林治疗,但他汀类药物治疗则不然。女性的预后没有恶化。其他研究报告的他汀类药物治疗的性别差异可能是由于基线风险评估不足所致。
