This book describes a wide range of interventional procedures
currently employed in the treatment of cardiac diseases in women
with the aim of enabling not only interventional cardiologists but
also cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to refine their approach to
female patients and thus improve outcomes. The book reflects the
increasing awareness of gender differences with regard to coronary
artery disease and structural valve heart disease. Examples include
myocardial infarction, which carries a worse prognosis in women in
part because they suffer from this disease mostly in the 7th decade
of life, present more frequently with hemodynamic instability and
later from symptom onset, and have fragile, small and tortuous
coronary arteries that are more technically demanding in the
context of primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Another
example is symptomatic aortic stenosis, which carries a better
prognosis in women who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve
implantation partially due to a better annulus-prosthesis match,
which leads to less residual paravalvular regurgitation, better
left ventricular function and lower aggregation of comorbidities.
Further, in women left ventricular response to aortic stenosis is
typified by muscle hypertrophy with a small ventricular cavity.
These differences are reflected in the clinical manifestations and
their impact on diagnosis, treatment, and choice of tools and
devices for use in interventional procedures. By explaining the at
times subtle variances in disease and treatment techniques for
female and male patients, this book will help practitioners select
the most appropriate procedures and materials in a range of
settings.
