Sex differences in coronary angiographic findings in patients with stable chest pain: analysis of data from the KoRean wOmen'S chest pain rEgistry (KoROSE)

Focused evaluations on potential sex differences in the angiographic findings of the coronary arteries are scarce. This study was performed to compare the angiographic extent and localization of coronary stenosis between men and women. A total of 2348 patients (mean age 62.5 years and 60% women) wit...

Description
Summary:Focused evaluations on potential sex differences in the angiographic findings of the coronary arteries are scarce. This study was performed to compare the angiographic extent and localization of coronary stenosis between men and women. A total of 2348 patients (mean age 62.5 years and 60% women) with stable chest pain undergoing invasive coronary angiography (CAG) were recruited from the database of the nation-wide chest pain registry. Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as ≥ 50% stenosis of the left main coronary artery and/or ≥ 70% stenosis of any other epicardial coronary arteries. Although women were older than men (64.4 ± 10.3 vs. 59.5 ± 11.4 years, P
