[A targeted approach to cardiovascular risk in women: towards improved screening and prevention].
In women, cardiovascular risk is influenced by factors that differ from those in men, including hormonal status, obstetric complications, and specific conditions such as migraine, endometriosis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. These factors affect both arterial and venous risk, which are often not accounted for by standard risk scores. This literature review highlights these women-specific factors, emphasizing the need for appropriate risk stratification tools, personalized prevention strategies, and improved information for women throughout their lives.
