Cardiovascular diseases: patient-woman specificities
Cardiovascular diseases: patient-woman specificities
Cardiovascular diseases in Italy are the cause of about 35.8% of annual deaths. Heart diseases are not the same in men and women, there is a difference in both symptoms and long-term effects. Sex differences in the development of heart failure after a heart attack is one such case. The paradox is that women have fewer heart attacks than men, but their mortality is higher. In the past, studies have focused on the inequality of treatment, but now this gap has been overcome. The key point is that there are physiological differences that lead to differences in treatment.
