ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the gender differences of coronary heart disease secondary prevention status in patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease from 31 tertiary hospitals were enrolled for a baseline survey. Medical history and laboratory tests were taken. Analysis was done for outpatient or inpatient with the history of at least one PCI treatment. Status of smoking cessation, weight management, blood pressure < 140/90 mm Hg, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) < 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), and use of antiplatlet drugs, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and statins were collected and compared. Results Women (n=1151) accounted for 25.4% of all PCI patients (n=4532). Proportion of female with history of smoking was signiifcantly lower than male, but the proportion of quitting was similar between female and male, 53%(n=98) vs. 53.7%(n=1344), P=0.849. The average body mass index, mean waist circumference and proportion of overweight were higher in man than women, P=0.000. However, the proportion of abdominal obesity in women is higher than men, 75.2%vs. 52.8%, P=0.000. More female were comorbid with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes than male and the differences were signiifcant, P=0.000. Control rate of blood pressure, LDL-C and fasting glucose were lower in women than in man, the differences were 66.2% vs 73.4% for blood pressure, 47.8%vs. 57.0%for LDL-C and 57.5%vs. 62.7%for fasting glucose, P=0.000. There was no signiifcant difference in medication usage between different genders. Conclusions In patients post pecutaneous coronary intervention, female patients had more risk factors than male while risk factor control rate was lower comparing with male. Medication usage for coronary heart disease secondary prevention was similar between different genders.
