Noninvasive determination of endothelium-mediated vasodilation as a screening test for coronary artery disease: pilot study to assess the predictive value in comparison with angina pectoris, exercise electrocardiography, and myocardial perfusion imaging.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Women have been underrepresented in randomized trials of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy, and limited data suggest that women may not benefit from prophylactic ICD implantation to the same extent as men.
