AbstractWe propose in this article a review of the incidence, major cardiovascular risk factors, and differential signs of these diseases between women and men, on the one hand from the biological point of view and, on the other hand, and more generally neglected, from the point of view of the gender, understood as a social construction of the feminine and the masculine, and thus be able to draw some conclusions about prevention in general and specifically in women.
