Managing cardiovascular risk factors: trial evidence in women

J Hsia. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis. 2010 Jul.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains by far the leading cause of death for women worldwide. Despite a large body of research identifying effective interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk, translation into practice has been slow. This review pinpoints areas in particular need of improvement and summarizes gender-specific analyses in recent randomized trials assessing the impact of risk factor modulation on cardiovascular events.
