心血管疾病(cardiovascular disease,CVD)是导致女性死亡的第一杀手.同时,流行病学数据显示年轻女性急性心肌梗死(acut myocardial infarction,AMI)预后较男性更差,而导致这一结论的具体原因目前尚不完全清楚.由于年轻女性AMI发病率低,该人群长期未能得到足够重视.近来,CVD的性别、年龄差异逐渐得到人们认可并成为研究热点.本文主要从病理生理、危险因素、临床表现三个方面对年轻女性AMI的特点进行综述.“,”Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in women.Meanwhile,young women with AMI have a higher risk of adverse outcomes than men,but the reason for these differences is not entirely clear.However,young women with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have not got enough attention due to its low morbidity.Sex and age differences in CVD are recognized by people gradually,and have become the research focus these days.This review gives analysis on characteristics of young women with AMI in pathophysiology,cardiovascular risk factors,and clinical presentation.
