Graphical Abstract
Graphical Abstract
Mechanisms of myocardial infarction in females have focused on sex differences in traditional risk factors and female-specific risk factors. Future focus includes (1) evaluating sex-differences in mechanisms in MI, (2) biologic profiling, (3) Equitable representation of females in CVD research, and (4) further mechanistic and therapeutic research into MI subtypes that disproportionately affect women. CVD, cardiovascular disease; MI, myocardial infarction; MINOCA, myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary arteries; SCAD, spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
