Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Despite improvements in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), many disparities remain between men and women in terms of epidemiology, risk factors, presentation, management, outcomes and access to care. Gender differences occur due to different gene expression from the X and Y chromosomes, as well as different sex hormones causing differences in cardiovascular system functions. Sociocultural processes, lifestyles, education and behaviour patterns can all lead to gender-related differences and attitudes towards the presentation, treatment and prevention of ACS. Furthermore, invasive imaging reveals gender differences in plaque morphology and characteristics. Globally, much of the currently available evidence is derived from high income countries, with little data from resource-constrained settings.

For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original research and review articles from around the globe with a special focus on gender differences in ACS.

Prof. Martha Gulati, Dr. F Aaysha Cader and Dr. Shrilla Banerjee
