[Coronary artery disease in women].
Data concerning coronary artery disease (CAD) refer to the recent clinical trials. They indicate that CAD is the most frequent cause of deaths of women over 50 years of age, and the dynamics of its development differs from that in male patients. The author discusses specificity of risk factors, effectiveness of various diagnostic methods, and different results of treatment of women with CAD (comparing to men).
