Research Notes on Heart Disease Names Should Vary by Gender


A prominent group of cardiologists propose the term "ischemic heart disease" be used when discussing heart disease specific to women instead of coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease (CHD). They cite significant differences in heart disease between women and men. A name change may help doctors customize diagnostic tests and treatments based on the sex of the patient.1
