Ischemic Heart Disease in Women.

This review synthesizes the current understanding of ischemic heart disease in women, briefly discussing differences in risk factors, presentation, and treatment. We have underscored the unique clinical phenotype of IHD in women with a higher prevalence of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries. Further research is needed to elucidate the complexities of ischemic heart disease in women, understand the discordance between ischemic burden and clinical symptoms, and optimize treatment strategies.
