Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death worldwide both in men and women. Significant differences however exist in the age of onset, type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and treatment response among the genders. These differences are due to both gender societal effects and biological differences from the influence of the hormonal and metabolic milieu in the two sexes.Estrogens are the main female hormone. They impact signaling in almost every body organ and thus affect cardiovascular risk factors. These result in differential expression of CVD. The differential effect of treatment modalities is only recently being evaluated.Research is ongoing regarding the pathophysiology of these differences. Our current level of knowledge is described in this chapter.
