Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Substantial gaps in knowledge exist in our understanding of gender-related differences in revascularization outcomes. This review aims to highlight the existing evidence of sex-based outcomes in the management of coronary artery disease and cardiogenic shock.
