Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality in the United States in both sexes. Recent advances in diagnostic and treatment techniques can lessen mortality. However, for uncertain reasons, U.S. women receive less aggressive diagnosis and treatment of CHD than do U.S. men. This article explores this gender-linked differential, examines some potential medical and psychosocial reasons for why it exists, and presents some ramifications for health professionals.

期刊介绍： Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. .
