Abstract: Objective To study the relation between control of risk factors for coronary heart disease and recent cardiac events in females. Methods Four hundred and twelve patients with coronary heart disease（121 females,291 males） were followed up for a long time.The follow-up contents included the control of risk factors and various cardiac events. Results The age of female patients was significantly higher than that of male patients（P＜0.05）.The incidence of complications,such as hypertension,diabetes mellitus,and hyperlipemia was higher while the control rate of hypertension was lower in female patients than in male patients（P＜0.05）.The administration rate of clopidogrel and aspirin was higher in female patients than in male patients（P＜0.05）.Of the recent cardiac events,the incidence of angina pectoris was higher while that of cardiac infarction was lower in female patients than in male patients（P＜0.05）. Conclusion The incidence of angina pectoris and cardiac infarction is significantly different between female and male patients.
