Women blockage is less serious nature, they rarely require stenting – expanding the narrowed portion of the vessel. However, according to scientists, women often damaged coronary arteries, which leads to a reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle. The result of this process also becomes infarction.

The pain in the chest is the main symptom of a heart attack for both sexes. However, women are more common atypical symptoms: shortness of breath, vomiting, pain in the back.

In addition, the researchers found: after reperfusion women experience more severe complications. The fact that their blood vessels narrower, in addition, women are less likely men brought a recovery program until the end.
