Gender disparities in delayed angina diagnosis: insights from 2001–2020 NHANES data
Women with similar CAD symptoms to their male counterparts still have higher odds of going undiagnosed. This relationship extends to individuals who ultimately die of cardiac causes. Potential solutions to this disparity include addressing overgeneralized perceptions of differences in the prevalence and presentation of CAD between genders and exploring targeted screening programs for women with risk factors. Further research accounting for healthcare access and proximity to care is needed to support our findings. Timely recognition of CAD in women is essential to decreasing preventable mortality.
