Post-menopausal women with atherosclerosis at elevated risk of heart attack compared to men of same age

Postmenopausal women with clogged arteries are at higher risk of heart attacks than men of similar age, according to research presented at EACVI 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and published in European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging [1]. The study in nearly 25,000 adults used imaging techniques to examine […]

Artificial Intelligence improves treatment in women with heart attacks

Heart attacks in women are more likely to be fatal than in men. The reasons are differences in age and in comorbidity burden which makes risk assessment in women a challenge. Researchers at the University of Zurich have now developed a novel artificial-intelligence-based risk score that improves personalized care for female patients with heart attacks.

Molecular basis for increased cardiovascular disease in older women

Researchers have discovered the molecular basis for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases in older women. The study found that older women had mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced antioxidant proteins, and increased inflammation. Previous studies have shown sex differences in the age at which cardiovascular diseases occur. Ischemic heart disease, for example, develops on average seven to […]
