Angina pectoris bei Männern und Frauen

Zusammenfassung

Die Angina pectoris ist das Kardinalsymptom für eine myokardiale Ischämie. Zu den wichtigen Pathomechanismen für eine myokardiale Ischämie gehören die stenosierende koronare Herzkrankheit (KHK) bzw. die Koronarthrombose beim akuten Myokardinfarkt, Koronarspasmen und eine koronare mikrovaskuläre Dysfunktion. Wichtige Unterschiede zwischen Männern und Frauen liegen in der Art der Beschwerden, der Beschreibung der Symptome und der subjektiven Einschätzung der Beschwerden.
