Management of acute coronary syndromes from a gender perspective
Acute Coronary Syndromes are the most frequent manifestations of coronary heart disease (CHD). Gender differences in treatment intensity, including differences in level of care, have been reported. Also differences in benefit from certain treatments, especially invasive treatment, have been discussed. Finally, differences in outcome between men and women have been proposed. Results have been inconsistent, partly depending on if and how adjustment for differences in background characteristics has been made.This is the pre-reviewed version of the following article:Joakim Alfredsson and Eva Swahn, Management of acute coronary syndromes from a gender perspective, 2010, FUNDAMENTAL and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, (24), 6, 719-728.which has been published in final form at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1472-8206.2010.00837.xCopyright: Blackwell Publishing Ltd.http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Brand/id-35.htm
