Sammanfattning
In the western world, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both sexes. These diseases show substantial differences between the sexes with respect to epidemiology, biology and clinical aspects. In recent years, more attention has been directed towards sex differences in pharmacological effects. Although both sexes are included in most pharmacological trials, the proportion of women is often too low to enable sex-specific analyses.
