Angina in females
Although angina affects both sexes and has an overall higher prevalence in males, females with angina develop a set of symptoms that are different from the classical picture mentioned above. This is due to the difference in the way the disease occurs between males and females. The type of angina that affects females is related to the microcirculation rather than the large blood vessels. It may feature a rather sharp pain instead of the usual squeezing or pressure sensation. Women may also complain of an unusual feeling of weakness, fatigue, loss of concentration, or even depression.
