Aim of the Study: To study the clinical and angiographic profile of coronary artery disease (CAD) among women & men to compare the difference in these profiles CAD.
Materials and Methods: 1000 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) for coronary artery disease were taken for this study. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of gender. The risk factors, clinical presentation, echo cardiographic features, angiographic profile and treatment modalities were analyzed and compared between both groups.
Results: 300 patients were female and 700 patients were male with a mean age group of 57.2 years & 53.2 years respectively. On comparing the angiographic data CAD was higher among men. Significantly men received
greater thrombolytic therapy than women & any intervention in form of PCI/CABG at admission or within 3
months of follow up was significantly greater in men than in women.
Conclusion: There has been a shift with respect to onset of risk factors and clinical presentation for coronary artery disease in the women. It is necessary to identify atherosclerotic risk factors in women and treat them appropriately to prevent further cardiovascular events. Interventional options PCI & CABG are done more often in men as compared to women.
