People at the highest risk — particularly men with coronary artery disease — get the greatest benefit.
Gayda M, Merzouk A, Choquet D, Ahmaidi S. Assessment of skeletal muscle fatigue in men with coronary artery disease using surface electromyography during isometric contraction of quadriceps muscles.
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a selective endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, is elevated in many conditions associated with erectile dysfunction (ED), such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and renal failure; it is also increased in men with coronary artery disease and ED.
Dietary counseling trials of men with coronary disease conducted in the 1950s and 1960s failed to demonstrate a consistent benefit from dietary therapy, in part because of confounding factors from methodologic flaws in trial design.
Linkages between facial expressions of anger and transient myocardial ischemia in men with coronary artery disease.

Faltus, MS, CWWS, CPT. 1) Koertge J, Weidner G, Elliott-Eller M, Scherwitz L, Merritt-Worden TA, Marlin R, Lipsenthal L, Guarneri M, Finkel R, Saunders Jr DE, McCormac P, Scheer JM, Collins RE, Ornish D. Improvement in medical risk factors and quality of life in women and men with coronary artery disease in the Multicenter Lifestyle Demonstration Project.
The report of a man with coronary artery aneurysms resulting in myocardial infarction led to more systematic evaluation of the coronary arteries [ 24, 27].
For women and men with obstructive coronary lesions, angioplasty with stenting and coronary bypass surgery are equally likely to succeed in opening their arteries, but women are less likely than men to be offered these procedures.
Our aim was to estimate relations between ADMA, the magnitude of IR and angiographic indices of extent and severity of coronary atherosclerosis in non-diabetic men with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).
Women with acute coronary syndrome were older than men with acute coronary syndrome (75 (SD 13) years v 67 (SD 14) years), had similar cardiovascular risk factors but were at higher risk of mortality (GRACE score 130 (SD 32) v 114 (SD 30), P<0.001) 21 and less likely to have previously undergone coronary revascularisation.
Of those patients who underwent coronary angiography, the proportion of women and men with normal coronary arteries (14% v 5%) and with single vessel (31% v 42%), two vessel (14% v 23%), and three vessel (42% v 29%) disease did not differ significantly (P=0.123 overall).
