TL;DR: It is suggested that the race and sex of a patient independently influence how physicians manage chest pain.
Impact of Diabetes on Coronary Artery Disease in Women and Men
Warren L. Lee,Angela M. Cheung +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a meta-analysis to calculate a summary estimate of the relative risk of coronary death among women with diabetes as compared to those without, and they also calculated the analogous risk among men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in processing information for making self-assessments of health.
TL;DR: Women’s greater inclusiveness of various sources of information when making self-assessed health judgments accounts for the finding that SAH is a weaker predictor of mortality in women than in men, and this difference can explain gender differences in the accuracy of SAH judgments.

Sex differences in symptom presentation associated with acute myocardial infarction : A population-based perspective
Robert J. Goldberg,Caitlin O'Donnell,Jorge L. Yarzebski,Carol Bigelow,Judith A. Savageau,Joel M. Gore +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this population-based observational study suggest differences in symptom presentation in men and women hospitalized with AMI, which have implications for public and health care provider education concerning recognition of sex differences in AMI-related symptoms and health Care seeking behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient characteristics and inequalities in doctors’ diagnostic and management strategies relating to CHD: A video-simulation experiment
TL;DR: Primary care doctors' behaviour differed significantly by patients' gender, suggesting doctors' actions may contribute to gender inequalities in health.

Patterns of coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality in the sexes: A 26-year follow-up of the Framingham population
Debra J Lerner,William B. Kannel +1 more
TL;DR: A population-based survey assessed sex-specific patterns of coronary heart disease occurring over a 26-year period of time, finding that among subjects ages 35 to 84 years, men have about twice the total incidence of morbidity and mortality of women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in the Use of Procedures between Women and Men Hospitalized for Coronary Heart Disease
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that women who are hospitalized for coronary heart disease undergo fewer major diagnostic and therapeutic procedures than men.

Sex Differences in the Management of Coronary Artery Disease
Richard M. Steingart,Milton Packer,Peggy Hamm,MaryEllen Coglianese,Bernard J. Gersh,Edward M. Geltman,J. Sollano,Katz S,Lemuel A. Moyé,Lofty L. Basta +9 more
TL;DR: Doctors pursue a less aggressive management approach to coronary disease in women than in men, despite greater cardiac disability in women, when differences were adjusted for important covariates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Female gender as a risk factor for torsades de pointes associated with cardiovascular drugs
TL;DR: It is suggested that women are more prone than men to develop torsades de pointes during administration of cardiovascular drugs that prolong cardiac repolarization and the pathophysiological basis for, and therapeutic implications of, this gender disparity should be further investigated.

Cardiovascular Health and Disease in Women
TL;DR: Lack of information about preventive strategies, diagnostic testing, responses to medical and surgical therapies, and other aspects of cardiovascular illness in women is compounded by the less frequent participation of women in research studies.
