Cardiovascular disease in Europe 2016: epidemiological update

Proportion of all deaths due to major causes in Europe

Women
CVD in 2012
17.3 million deaths/year worldwide
>23.6 million by 2030
Yahagi et al: Atherosclerosis 2015
Large prevalence of CVD in women is
associated with
coronary atherosclerosis
Traditionally, the enrollment of women in clinical trials has been minimal,
resulting in a lack of gender-specific analysis of clinical trial data and,
therefore, the absence of concrete risk factor assessment among women
Anum Saeed 2017
Under-representation of old women in RCTs.
• Elderly has frequently impaired renal function and politherapies and high comorbidity degree.
• Women suffering from CVD are often older than men, with less impaired ventricular function, more impaired diastolic function and many anatomical differencies.
Int J Cardiol. 2017 Apr 1;232:216-221.
We are using guidelines derived from studies that enrolled
men, with different ethiologies and younger than CV
diseases affected old women.

<37 weeks’ gestation
(5% to 12.7% of deliveries worldwide)
Main mechanisms : inflammation,
infection, vascular diseases.
Conclusions and Relevance
Women who had an infant with
PTB-SGA may be at higher
future risk of premature cardiac
disease or death.
Hypertensive
Pregnancy
Disorders
Gestational hypertension New onset hypertension (>140/90 mm Hg) after 20 weeks’ gestation
in a woman who was originally normotensive
Chronic hypertension Hypertension developed before 20 weeks of gestation
Preeclampsia New onset hypertension (>140/90 mm Hg) after 20 weeks’ gestation
and proteinuria (0.3 g/24 hours) and end-organ renal dysfunction
CVD risk persists into later life
Preeclampsia
Can J Cardiol. 2019 Jul 11. pii: S0828-282X(19)30464-7.
Annual visits to a primary care physician to check BP and
metabolic factors are recommended.
Pre-eclampsia, particularly early preterm
preeclampsia, was strongly associated with
several chronic renal disorders later in life.
More research is needed to determine which women are most
likely to develop kidney disease after pre-eclampsia, what
mechanisms underlie the association, and what clinical follow-up
and interventions (and in what timeframe post-pregnancy) would
be most appropriate and effective.
Gestational Diabetes
Persistence of Weight Gain After Pregnancy
Weight at 1 year postpartum is a stronger predictor of the
likelihood of being overweight 15 years later than the weight
gained during the pregnancy itself Kew S et Al. Cardiometabolic implications of postpartum weight changes in the first year
after delivery. Diabetes Care. 2014

• Planning ante-natal care

Menopause
Age at menopause
50.2 - 50.9 yrs in Italy
Dratva J, Menopause, December 2008
The age at menopause is, in itself, a fundamental item to be acquired,
in order to plan the right timing for prevention and possible
treatments
physicians learn to acquire the main anamnestic data concerning the female hormonal life, starting from
menarche, through pregnancy, up to the hormonal therapies that accompany and follow menopause
Multidimensional women’s assessemnt
Climateric symptoms are important as:
• CV risk factors;
• early diagnosis;
• Appropriate therapy and specific prevention program!

There has been a tremendous improvement in the survival
rates of breast cancer
Breast Cancer Treatments
This improvement in outcome has been associated with chemotherapy dose-dependent acute,
subacute, and late cardiotoxicity
Breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may be at risk for either or
both Type I (anthracycline-like agents) and Type II (Trastuzumablike agents)
cardiotoxicity
M Garcia, S. L. Mulvagh, C. Noel Bairey Merz, J. E. Buring, JAnn E. Manson Circ Research 2016
Cardiotoxicity was comparable across the 3
groups for the entire study cohort. However,
for women receiving combination
anthracycline-trastuzumab chemotherapy, the
incidence of cardiac dysfunction was lower
in the lisinopril group (37%) and in the
carvedilol group (31%) than in the placebo
group (47%). Lisinopril and carvedilol were
also associated with longer cardiotoxicity-
free survival compared with placebo.

Trastuzumab Cardiotoxicity in Patients With Breast Cancer Maya Guglin, Jeffrey Krischer, Roy Tamura, Angelina Fink, Lauren Bello-Matricaria, Worta McCaskill-Stevens and Pamela

All women who received
lisinopril or carvedilol had fewer
interruptions in their
trastuzumab therapy than those
who received placebo.
Rates of major coronary events increased linearly with the mean
dose to the heart by 7.4% per gray
The radiation categories were less than 2, 2 to 4, 5 to 9, and 10 Gy or more, the
overall averages of the mean doses to the heart of women in these categories were 1.4,
3.4, 6.5, and 15.8 Gy, respectively.

Cumulative Risks of Death from Ischemic Heart Disease and of at Least One Acute Coronary Event
Women who underwent radiotherapy for breast cancer (1958 – 2001)
963 women with major coronary events and 1205 controls included
Exposure of the heart to ionizing radiation during radiotherapy for breast cancer
increases the subsequent rate of ischemic heart disease
The increase is proportional to the mean dose to the heart,
begins within a few years after exposure, and continues for at
least 20 yrs

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS):
not just a fertility matter
(a) CV risk scores should be updated, taking into account these data and
(b) meticulous CV screening should be recommended to patients with PCOS, in order to
recognize and counteract their multiple CV risk factors as early as possible.
It is now well established that PCOS, as a major CV risk factor,
precedes the development of heart disease during the early stages of life

Overweight and Sarcopenia
Wittmann K, Clin Int Aging 2016
According to data from a 2011 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)
in adults, inactivity was higher among women than men (33.2% versus
29.9%, age-adjusted) and increased with age (from 26.1% to 52.4%).
Risk Factors in Women
Physical Inactivity
Schiller JS LJ et Al: Summary Health Statistics for US Adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2010
Physical inactivity
The prevalence of inactivity and
sedentary behaviors is higher among
women than men.
Overwhelming evidence indicates
that regular physical activity is one of
the most powerful health-promoting
practices that clinicians can
recommend for patients.
Women should be advised to
accumulate at least 150 min/wk of
moderate exercise, 75 min/wk of
vigorous exercise, or an equivalent
combination.
