Insights in age- and sex-specific coronary atherosclerotic plaque characteristics may contribute to a better understanding of coronary artery disease and, ultimately, to its prevention and treatment. In 307 women and 406 men aged 20 to 90 years undergoing intravascular ultrasound imaging, sex-based differences in coronary atherosclerotic plaque characteristics were mainly present in younger patients, while these differences were less pronounced at advanced age.
对年龄和性别特异性冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块特征的深入了解可能有助于更好地理解冠状动脉疾病,并最终有助于其预防和治疗。在307名年龄在20至90岁之间接受血管内超声成像的女性和406名男性中,冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块特征的性别差异主要存在于年轻患者中,而在高龄患者中这些差异则不太明显。
