  ABSTRACT: Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is in relentless progression, along with the adoption of western lifestyle in sub-Saharan Africa. In Senegal, the incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) rose from 5% to 12% in Dakar during the last 20 years. That increase was observed in both women and men, and according to current data, the former paid the heaviest price in terms of mortality compared to men. In this study, we aim to retrospectively assess the clinical characteristics and angiographic profile of ACS in women compared to men in two tertiary care centers in Dakar. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed and compared data between men and women among 133 patients who underwent coronary angiogram for ACS in 2 tertiary centers from February 2019 to January 2020. Results: A total of 133 patients were included in our study of whom 97 (72.9%) were men. The mean age was 58 ±13.6 years. Women were older than men (61.4 ± 14.3 years vs 56.6 ± 13.5 years (p = 0.07). Hypertension, sedentary lifestyle and obesity were significantly more frequent in women (69.4%, 52.7% and 19.4%) when compared to men (38.8%, 25.7% and 6.19%) respectively, (p = 0.001; 0.002 and 0.03). Smoking was less frequent in women (2.8%) than in men (44.3%), (p Conclusion: In our study, women with ACS were older, had more cardiovascular risk factors but less angiographic extent of disease than men.
