Abstract
Angina among women in the general population is common and is not associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. Additionally, angina in the absence of subclinical atherosclerosis is not related to many traditional atherosclerotic risk factors but is associated with clinical, inflammatory, and vascular factors that reflect endothelial dysfunction and vascular stiffness, suggesting a distinct vascular etiology and alternative potential therapeutic targets.
