RESUMEN
La muerte súbita cardiaca (MSC) es casi el doble de frecuente en hombres que en mujeres. La principal causa en ambos grupos es la enfermedad arterial coronaria (EAC), pero la mayoría de las mujeres que presentan MSC no tienen antecedentes de cardiopatía, son asintomáticas o se han considerado sujetos de bajo riesgo de MSC. La prevención de la MSC en mujeres es más difícil, aunque se ha demostrado que el control de los factores de riesgo de la EAC reduce la incidencia de MSC. Las mujeres que sufren MSC suelen ser mayores, presentan más comorbilidades y tienen menos probabilidades de fallecer en espacios públicos. También reciben menos reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) por parte de testigos que los hombres. Generalmente presentan un ritmo inicial no desfibrilable y tienen menos probabilidades de sobrevivir a un paro cardiaco extrahospitalario (PCEH) y ser dadas de alta del hospital. El presente trabajo revisa las diferencias significativas en cuanto a factores de riesgo, tratamiento y resultados que deben impulsar acciones colectivas para reducir la carga de mortalidad por paro cardiaco en mujeres.
