- Background: Research continues to report underrecognition and underdiagnosis of CAD as contributory to high mortality rates in women. Indeed, once the diagnosis is made, it does appear that current treatments are equally effective at reducing risk in both women and men. Aim. To compare the prognostic implication of stress echocardiography result in men and women with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We analyzed the data of 8028 patients (5084 men, 2944 women; age 62±11 years) who underwent stress echocardiography (377 exercise, 5799 dipyridamole, and 1852 dobutamine) for evaluation of known (n=3509) or suspected (n=4519) CAD. Patients were followed-up for the occurrence of death or myocardial infarction. Results: During a median follow-up of 25 months, there were 965 events (649 deaths, 316 infarctions). Additionally 2187 patients underwent revascularization and were censored. The rate of revascularization was higher in men than in women with both known (p0.0001) or suspected CAD (p0.0001). Considering patients with known CAD, 5-year event rate was 28% in men and 33% in women with ischemia (p (literal)
