Summary:
Women report symptoms such as chest pain and palpitations more often just before or during menstruation compared to other days of the menstrual cycle. Efficacy outcomes of perindopril, high potent P2Y12 inhibitors and statins are similar in women and men. Women more often report adverse drug reactions of ACE inhibitors than men; the type of side effects is also different. ADRs with respect to PCSK9 inhibitors are similar in both sexes
Women with familial hypercholesterolemia have higher pre-treatment LDL-C levels than men,but are less likely to be treated with high intensity statins, which might be because of adverse drug reactions.
For patients, especially women, the sex of their general practitioner is important when they have intimate of psychological symptoms and can even lead to postponing their consultation. During 2010-2017 no progress was observed in the sex-specific presentation of clinical trial results at major cardiology congresses.
