Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health problem in both men and women. Each year over 250,000 women in the United States alone die as a result of CHD, many of them suddenly. Women sustaining an acute myocardial infarction have a poor in-hospital and long-term prognosis, with a high incidence of stroke, congestive heart failure, nonfatal reinfarction and cardiac death.
