2024-08-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death around the world, with well-described epidemiological sex and gender differences in prevalence, pathophysiology and management outcomes. It has been hypothesized that sex steroids, like estrogen, may contribute to these sex differences. There is a relatively large genetic component to developing CAD, with heritability estimates rangi...
