abstract

  • Women are underrepresented in clinical trials. Lower doses of beta-blockers are required for Southeast Asians. ACE and ARB's are teratogenic in the second trimester. Torsades de Pointes is more common in women related to a longer QT-interval. Lower dose OCPs decrease the risk of MI, stroke and thrombosis. HRTs are not effective for CAD prevention.
