Abstract :
Objective
iew studies comparing multiple acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms in white and Latina women with and without diabetes.
s
mpirical integrative review summarizes 8 studies and identifies the limitations of research to date.
s
are conflicting results about acute coronary syndrome (ACS) symptoms in women with diabetes. Differences were found in associated ACS symptoms and symptom characteristics; however, some studies found no differences in frequency of chest pain by diabetic status. Diabetes is an independent predictor of “atypical” presentation of acute myocardial infarction in women, and research to date suggests that shortness of breath may be an important ACS symptom in women with diabetes.
sions
is a paucity of literature on ACS symptoms in women, particularly Latina women, with diabetes, and results are inconclusive. Future research should examine the full range of ACS symptoms in multiethnic samples of women with diabetes.
