Study Notes
Prevalence and Demographics
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the most common serious health disorders in industrialized nations.
- There is a higher incidence of CVD in men compared to women (M > F).
Mortality Trends
- Over the last few decades, the absolute number of deaths from CVD has decreased in men.
- Conversely, the number of deaths from CVD has risen in women.
Health Factors in Women
- Inflammation, obesity, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome are more pronounced in women than in men.
- Women more frequently experience coronary artery disease (CAD) associated with dysfunction of the coronary microcirculation compared to men.
