摘要
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represents a continuum of acute myocardial ischemia including non-ST-elevation myocardial angina, synonymous with infarction and unstable non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS), and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A large body of clinical evidence has demonstrated the great impact of gender differences on the treatment of ACS and clinical outcomes of these patients.In general, women develop coronary artery disease about 10 years later than men though the reasons for this remain unclear.
