Detailed angiographic analysis of women with suspected ischemic chest pain (pilot phase data from the NHLBI-sponsored Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation [WISE] study angiographic core laboratory)

摘要: Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a contemporary qualitative and quantitative analysis coronary angiograms from large series women enrolled in the Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) who had suspected ischemic chest pain. Previous studies have suggested that with pain lower prevalence significant artery disease (CAD) compared men. Detailed analyses angiographic findings relative risk factors outcomes are not available. All were reviewed central core laboratory. Quantitative measurement percent stenosis was used assess presence severity disease. Of 323 pilot phase, 34% no detectable, 23% measurable but minimal, 43% (>50% diameter stenosis) CAD. those CAD, most multivessel Features suggesting complex plaque identified
