Abstract
Coronary heart disease is generally considered a “man's disease,” but it also the greatest killer of women older than 50 [1]. Cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women [1]. Coronary heart disease is more dependent on age in women than in men; women are usually 10 years older than men when any coronary manifestations first appear [2]. Hypertension, smoking, and hyper- cholesterolemia are frequently observed in women [3].File in questo prodotto:
