  • Title: Women and cardiovascular disease: an evidentiary review.
    Author: Shirato S, Swan BA.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2010; 19(5):282-6, 306. PubMed ID: 21189741.
    Abstract:
    Coronary artery disease (CAD) kills more women than all cancers combined, yet their diagnosis can be missed or delayed. Detection of CAD at an earlier stage in women may result in earlier recognition and treatment and subsequently lower associated morbidity and mortality rates. The purpose of this evidentiary review is to examine the effect of gender on the recognition, treatment, and outcomes of coronary artery disease in women.
