Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Leading cause of mortality,
Understudied
Underdiagnosed
Undertreated
Annual CVD mortality remained greater
Women living with & dying of CVD are larger than men

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Different plaque characteristics
Greater role of microvascular disease
Less severe obstructive disease of epicardial coronary
arteries

Prevalence of AMI
6.6 million US women
< 1 year of a first AMI, 26% of women and 19% of men will
die
< 5 years of a first AMI, more women than men will die (47%
of women and 36% of men), have heart failure (HF), or suffer
from a stroke

Characterstics of CAD in Women
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
Coronary artery spasm (CAS) Longer hospitalizations Higher in-hospital mortality Bleeding complications

OCT showing Coronary plaque
Representative Case of OCT-Defined Erosion(A) Coronary angiography shows nonsignificant stenosis in mid-left anterior descending coronary artery.(B) Intracoronary ergonovine injection resulted in complete occlusion. (C) This normalized with 200 μg of intracoronary nitroglycerin administration. (E, F) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed a red thrombus with high backscattering protrusion mass with signal-free shadowing. (D to F) An intact fibrous cap and an irregular luminal surface are visible. Asterisk indicates the total occlusion site by ergonovine provocation test and arrows indicate the sites of OCT findings after nitroglycerine injection.

A, Distal normal left anterior descending (LAD) artery. The intact normal arterial wall was shown well by both modalities (arrow on optical coherence tomography [OCT] image. B, Distal dissection. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images showing intramural hematoma and luminal compression, but it was unable to demonstrate the intimal flap. OCT showed clearly the distal exit point of the dissection with the intimal flap and communication between the intramural hematoma and true lumen (arrow). C, Mid-LAD dissection. A large crescent-shaped eccentric hematoma (*). IVUS showed well the inner lumen (thick arrow) and external vessel reference (thin arrow); OCT showed the hematoma compression and demonstrated the integrity of an otherwise disease-free intima but did not reveal the vessel reference diameter as clearly as IVUS. D, Normal proximal LAD. OCT measurement of reference lumen
area and diameter for stent sizing are shown. Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2011 Apr 1;4(2):e5-7. doi: 10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.110.959593

Clinical Presentation
Atypical chest pain
Angina equivalent-dyspnea, weakness, fatigue, and indigestion
Lead to misdiagnosis, delayed revascularization, & higher

Living alone
Interpreting symptoms as
nonurgent
Temporary, consulting with
a physician or family

VIRGO study
Women fail to assess their risk of heart disease
Women -limited access to preventive cardiac care before AMI

Treatment of AMI
Less frequently referred for appropriate treatment More Mechanical complications & HF Ventricular arrhythmias occur at similar rates. More favorable outcome with PCI compared with
thrombolytic therapy
![Page 21: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
STEMI Revascularization Thrombolytic Therapy
Higher morbidity and mortality
GUSTO trial –More complications such as shock, HF,
reinfarction, recurrent ischemia, bleeding, and stroke
(ASSENT-2) trial- Increased risk of reinfarction Multiple relative contraindications age, hypertension, and
small body size Beneficial and reduce mortality and morbidity
![Page 22: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Primary PCI
Benefit the most GUSTO II-B angioplasty-56
deaths in women/42 deaths in men/ 1000
Vascular complications & the need for blood transfusions occur more in women
Female sex-Independent predictor of bleeding
DES- reduced death or MI and reduced target vessel revascularization
![Page 23: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CABG Surgery
Older and sicker
Increased risk of in-
hospital mortality
Less likely to receive IMA
graft
More renal failure,
neurological complications,
and postoperative MI
![Page 24: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NSTEMI Revascularization
More complications bleeding HF, shock renal failure Reinfarction stroke readmission benefit from invasive managment
![Page 25: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Medical Therapies Same as in men
Consideration of weight & renal
dosing
HRT should not be given
Antioxidant vitamin supplements
should not be used
Aspirin & Clopidogrel reduced
the risk of a major coronary
event
![Page 26: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Medical Therapies
Prasugrel
Ticagrelor
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa
inhibitor
Low-molecularweight
heparins Bivalirudin Fondaparinux
![Page 27: Acute myocardial infarction in women](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070515/5877962f1a28ab0f778b5fd5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Medical Therapies
Nonselective β-blockers should be avoided in patients whose AMI is due to
coronary arterial vasospasm
ACE inhibitor improved survival in women
ACE inhibitors and ARBs are pregnancy category C for the first trimester
& category D during the second and third trimesters
Benefit from lipid-lowering therapy
Statins are pregnancy category X, avoid during pregnancy
Aldosterone antagonist in the absence of contraindications

Take Home Message
CVD is an equal-opportunity killer, Sex differences occur in the pathophysiology &
clinical presentation of MI & affect treatment delays.
Recommended perfusion therapies for AMI in women are similar to those in men,
Bleeding risks & other complications remain greater
