TL;DR: The lack of good trial evidence concerning sex-specific outcomes has led to assumptions about CVD treatment in women, which may have resulted in inadequate diagnoses and suboptimal management, greatly affecting outcomes, and may also explain why cardiovascular health in women is not improving as fast as that of men.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
