There are well-described differences between men and women in epidemiology, pathophysiology, presentation, and outcome of heart disease. Although risk factors responsible for cardiovascular disease are similar in men and women their relative importance differs. Puzzlingly, women have more angina yet less obstructive coronary artery disease. Also, when they suffer myocardial infarction, women more often present with myocardial infarction with non-obstructed coronary arteries (MINOCA) and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Women have less systolic heart failure than men but more heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, a condition yet to find evidence-based treatment. Atrial fibrillation is also less common in women than men of similar age, but women with atrial fibrillation have higher risk of stroke than their male counterparts.
