Epidemiology of acute coronary pathology in women Results of RESONANS trial
The objective of a trial was studying of acute coronary pathology epidemiology in men and women. Comparative analysis of main epidemiological rates (morbidity, mortality and lethality) of acute forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in men and women of different age in population of 285,736 people was performed. Morbidity and mortality with acute forms of IHD in women was lower than in men (1.99 and 1.79 times accordingly; р < 0.001). Morbidity and mortality increase in women lower than in men, and they are maximal in 70 years old in women and 50 years old in men. In patients 70- 79 years old epidemiological rates of IHD in women are almost similar to that ones in men and among patients 80 years old morbidity and mortality are higher in women. Age-related mortality curve in women is linear with minimum for patients < 50 years old, and the curve for men is J-shaped, with minimum in 50-79 years old. Revelation of acute forms of IHD in women is 75.5%, and cases with fatal outcome - 43.9%. Thus, acute forms of IHD in women are characterized by epidemiological appropriateness that differs from men. They are related with age of a woman and can be hardly analyzed with only official statistical data because of low revealation of acute coronary pathology in women.
