Description
Nurgül Keser and eleven co-authors compare heart artery disease in women and men in a 2026 study. Where plaques form and how tight they grow may differ by sex, and standard risk factors may not act the same way in both. The team studied 978 patients who had artery imaging between 2017 and 2023.
Women in the group were older, with more high blood pressure and diabetes, and higher cholesterol readings. Men smoked more and had worse overall blockage scores. High blood pressure tied to different artery branches in each sex. Diabetes linked to four artery zones in women. Prior heart disease also mapped differently across the sexes.
