Preliminary studies have identified a gender bias in referral as a major explanation, but theworse prognosis ofwomen as compared with men is now thought to result also from additional factors [1], as women tend to be older, with more co-morbidities, and with a more complex vascular anatomy [2].| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
