摘要
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for American women. CVD is preventable although risk reduction goals are not achieved for women compared with men. Considering a woman's cardiometabolic profile for prevention counseling and prescribing may help. Coronary artery calcium scores provide additional risk assessment and reproductive and menopause histories identify risk enhancers. Diagnosis of CVD is often delayed, and treatment is less optimal for women compared with men. Differences in presentation and underlying CVD etiology (Including spontaneous coronary artery dissection and microvascular disease) may partially account for these disparities. Improvements in CVD imaging to better diagnose these etiologies may benefit women's care.
