The American Heart Association estimates that over 12 million Americans are currently living with coronary heart disease. In every year since 1984, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease in the U.S. The model of symptoms for acute coronary syndromes, including myocardial infarction and unstable angina (UA), is based primarily on data collected from men and generalized to women.

520 $a The American Heart Association estimates that over 12 million Americans are currently living with coronary heart disease. In every year since 1984, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease in the U.S. The model of symptoms for acute coronary syndromes, including myocardial infarction and unstable angina (UA), is based primarily on data collected from men and generalized to women.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to determine if there were gender differences in the symptoms of UA and if so, to determine if these differences remained after controlling for age, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. A conceptual framework comprised of anatomical, biological, physiological, and psychosocial components was used to justify the examination of gender differences in UA.
520 $a This descriptive, comparative study used a non-experimental, quantitative design. A convenience sample of 50 women and 50 men were recruited from an urban and a suburban medical center. Instruments included the Unstable Angina Symptoms Questionnaire (UASQ) designed by the researcher, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification (CCSC) of angina, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
520 $a Statistical analyses were completed using chi-square analysis, independent sample t-tests, and logistic regression modeling. Examination of risk factors revealed that women had a higher incidence of hypertension while men were more likely to be active smokers and to exercise regularly. No differences were found in age and incidence of diabetes.
520 $a Women had significantly more symptoms during their episode of UA than did men. Women also had significantly more severe symptoms compared to men. Chi-square analysis indicated that women had a higher incidence of depression, and t-tests indicated that women had more severe anxiety and depression.
520 $a Chi-square analysis revealed that women reported more lightheadedness, nausea, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, weakness, upper back pain, knifelike pain, and stabbing pain. Logistic regression modeling demonstrated that female sex successfully predicted all eight symptoms, which varied by gender in chi-square analyses. When anxiety and depression scores were added as predictors along with sex, only female sex alone predicted lightheadedness, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, weakness, and upper back pain. Only anxiety predicted stabbing pain.
