Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in American women. Since 1984, the annual cardiovascular disease mortality rate has remained greater for women than men; however, over the last decade, there have been marked reductions in cardiovascular disease mortality in women. The dramatic decline in mortality rates for women is attributed partly to an increase in awareness, a greater focus on women and cardiovascular disease risk, and the increased application of evidence-based treatments for established coronary heart disease. This is the first scientific statement from the American Heart Association on acute myocardial infarction in women. Sex-specific differences exist in the presentation, pathophysiological mechanisms, and outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This statement provides a comprehensive review of the current evidence of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, treatment, and outcomes of women with acute myocardial infarction.

“…Wszczepienie ICD może wpłynąć na wiele dziedzin życia, w tym zdolność prowadzenia samochodu [239,240], relacje intymne [241,242], jakość snu [226], postrzeganie własnego ciała (zwłaszcza u młodszych kobiet) [227] oraz uczestnictwo w zorganizowanych sportach (zwłaszcza u dzieci i młodzieży) [243]. Wsparcie ze strony personelu opieki zdrowotnej zmniejsza te problemy, ale potrzebne są dalsze badania w celu optymalizacji postępów opieki oraz opracowania interwencji opartych na dowodach z badań naukowych [233].…”

“…Decline in sexual activity frequency and satisfaction has been reported in the literature, and sexual counseling interventions with cardiac patients were first described in 1976, although intervention studies continue to be relatively few in number (Steinke et al, 2013). Reasons for change in sexual activity patterns are often attributed to fear and anxiety related to a repeat cardiac event, particularly for those post-MI.…”

“…This is commonly reported across a variety of cardiac diagnoses, including post-myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), heart failure (HF), and implanted devices (Levine et al, 2012;Steinke et al, 2013). For some patients and their partners, psychological reactions, such as fear about a cardiac event may preclude them from resuming sexual activity, while others may experience adverse effects from medications and medical comorbidities (Cutitta et al, 2014;Mosack, Hill, & Steinke, 2015).…”
