The increased risk of drug-related torsades de pointes (TdP) and death in women taking ion-channel-active antiarrhythmic drugs was first described 20 years ago. In 1993, Makkar1 identified all case reports or case series of drug-related TdP, finding 332 patients described in 83 articles. The proportion of women versus men in these reported series was compared with the proportion of women versus… View more

For example, if… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet the extent of the problem in women is frequently underestimated and, compared with men, women are less likely to be offered interventions, are less likely to be represented in clinical trials and have a worse prognosis. This article aims to examine the extent of the problem of CVD in women, summarise the… View more
