WOMEN SPECIFIC VARIABLES IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the past decade or more, the prevalence of traditional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases has been increasing in the major populous countries of the developing world, including India, with consequent increases in the rates of coronary and cerebrovascular events. Cardiovascular diseases are predicted to be the major causes of morbidity and mortality in most developing nations around the world. Historically, most populations from South Asia have documented low levels of CV risk factors, particularly blood lipid levels, diabetes, and hypertension. However, in recent decades, the prevalence of these risk factors has increased, especially in urban areas. Numerous differences exist between younger and older women and between women and men with respect to the pathology of CHD and its incidence and prevalence over the life cycle. Women with obesity, metabolic syndrome, or diabetes have lipid profiles that adversely affect CHD risk.
