Ischemic heart diseases showed the highest rates in males, however, in more advanced ages, the difference between the sexes tends to have decreased.

Non-modifiable factors include: hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemias and menopause. Among women, depression stands out as a risk factor in development of the CAD.Downloads
