女性心血管病的病理生理特点

Pathophysiological characteristics of cardiovascular in females.

心血管疾病是当今威胁女性健康和生命的主要疾病,是导致中国女性死亡的首位原因。男性心血管疾病的死亡率呈现下降趋势,但女性心血管疾病的死亡率并没有明显下降,这主要与女性心血管疾病独特的病理生理特点有关。目前尚未发现雌激素与女性心血管疾病预后较男性差别存在明确的因果关系。女性随增龄伴随的疾病增多,合并糖尿病、高血压等均可能是造成此差异的主要原因。

Sununary： Cardiovascular disease （CVD） is the main disease threatening the health and life of women, which has become the leading cause of female death in China. The mortality of males with CVD has been decreasing,but the mortality of CVD females has shown no obvious decrease,which may be associated with the pathophysiological characteristics of CVD in fe males. Up to now, the relationship between the estrogen level and worse prognosis has not been confirmed in females with CVD. Comorbidity in aging woman, such as diabetes and hypertension may be the main reason for the difference. The cardio vascular disease in woman should be stressed, which could be really controlled when it is dealt with close combination of di agnosis, treatment and precaution.
