Abstract
Though coronary artery disease is late to present in women it significantly hamper quality of life. The clinical presentation of coronary artery disease in women varies from asymptomatic to severe unstable angina to myocardial infarction. Stress testing and 2D-ECHO helps to some extent for prediction of coronary artery disease but false positive as well as false negative test results are not negligible. Coronary angiography is the conclusive test to determine spectrum and characterization of coronary artery anatomy in women. As this study is based on experience at single center, various biases may be possible. Widespread data collection involving multiple center and multiple operators will be helpful.
