Key result
Prior MI is the strongest IHD predictor in women, linked to a ~4-fold risk increase.
Why the study?
Identifying risk factors and their importance across genders is essential to properly prevent, diagnose, and manage coronary artery disease.

The relative importance of risk factors for ischemic heart disease differs by gender, with previous MI being the strongest predictor in women and hypertension in men.
Gheisari et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Ischemic heart disease (n=1,012). Previous myocardial infarction (in females) vs. Females without previous myocardial infarction was evaluated on Ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR 3.93, p=<0.001). Previous myocardial infarction was the strongest risk factor for ischemic heart disease in women (OR 3.93), whereas hypertension was the strongest risk factor in men (OR 2).
