Doctors believe: men and women should be treated differently Bashny.Net

    




Pendar farahani from Queen's University advocates the use of gender treatment to reduce cardiovascular risk factors associated with diabetes.

Studies have shown that women with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol are less likely than their male peers, are treatable and lower "bad" cholesterol. Farahani says: "the data indicate the need to assess on the basis of sex and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients. We need to tailor drug intervention to gender differences, and to increase the inclusion of women in clinical trials".

According to the observations of experts, only 64 percent of women decreased LDL cholesterol to the recommended level compared with 81 per cent of men. The doctor explains that women have a weaker effect of statins in the treatment of high cholesterol, perhaps due to somewhat dissimilar pharmacological properties in a woman's body. In addition, women often have more side effects, such as pain in the muscles. Farahani says: "the fact that women are unable to reduce so-called bad cholesterol, a cause of concern. Women with diabetes have a significantly higher rate of cardiovascular disease and death than men with diabetes. This model is probably due to poor control of cardiovascular risk factors."
