IMAGING OF THE CORONARY ARTERY

DISEASES IN WOMEN

C

oronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in

Mexico and Western world. Symptoms in women are more subtle.

Women usually feel general tiredness and lack of energy, in contrast

to men having chest pain. This implies that women do not receive a

timely and early diagnosis. According to the National Health Information

System, 20 of 100 Mexican women die of cardiovascular disease, 68.5%

of Mexicans have problems of obesity, overweight, diabetes, high blood

pressure, conditions that increase the risk of CAD. SPECT myocardial

perfusion scintigraphy (MPS). With EKG stress or pharmacological test

is currently appropriate for diagnosis, risk assessment, stratification,

myocardial viability, evaluation of left ventricular function. The Objective

of this investigation is to show that SPECTMPS is a noninvasive diagnostic

test that identify women with increased CAD risk. Cardiac SPECT MPS is

a noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic test that identify women with

high CAD risk and establish timely and early the therapeutic interventions.
