Abstract
Coronary heart disease is underdiagnosed, undertreated, and under-researched in women, and the body of evidence points towards three explanations: sex-based physiology, provider bias, and psychosocial influences. This article examines each of these possible reasons for the gender differences in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Fortunately, as research evolves more is being learned about gender-specific aspects of care.
