We have falsely assumed that the response of the cardiovascular system to external stimuli is die same in men and women; however, normal cardiovascular physiology in women and men differs in several important ways. This article outlines the key known differences between cardiovascular responses in women and men. It will include blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and response to exercise training. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both women and men; therefore, it is important to focus research and investigations on these differences. |
