Women are more at risk than men for coronary heart disease, and the China-PEACE study showed that in China, women with the same ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction had a higher mortality rate than men, especially women <70 years old who had a 60% higher risk of in-hospital death compared to men of the same age. Moreover, the same cardiovascular risk factors affect women more than men. For example, hypertension is more associated with myocardial infarction in women, and the risk of heart attack is 4-5 times higher in young women with diabetes than in young men.
