Women react with more myocardial ischemia and angina pectoris during elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Women have been considered to be at higher risk of complications relating to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) than are men. One reason for this sex-related difference could be the ischemic response of myocardium during the procedure. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether there are sex-related differences in ischemic response of myocardium during elective PTCA. METHODS:Consecutive patients (n = 192, of whom 48 were women), were subjected to vectorcardiography during the PTCA procedure. Vectorcardiographic variables, magnitude of ST-segment vector (ST-VM), and magnitude of ST-segment vector change (STC-VM) were studied. RESULTS:Women were older (63 +/- 10 versus 56 +/- 10 years, P< 0.001) than men in our study and more often had diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Women less often had stents implanted (24 versus 50%, P < 0.01) and they were subjected to fewer balloon inflations (P < 0.001), with a total inflation time shorter than that for men (P< 0.001). Maximum STC-VM was 25% greater for women (P < 0.05). Women reported greater maximum pain (P < 0.05) and nitroglycerine was more frequently used for them during PTCA (P < 0.05). Occurrence of episodes of residual ischemic STC-VM (the difference between total number of episodes and number of balloon inflations) was more common for women (3 +/- 5 versus 1 +/- 3, P< 0.01). Duration of residual ischemic STC-VM episodes (the difference between total duration of episodes and duration of balloon inflations) was longer for women than it was for men (242 +/- 275 versus 148 +/- 233 s, P < 0.05). In a stepwise multivariate analysis and for a matched case-control group, episodes of residual STC-VM and duration of residual STC-VM episodes still indicated that there was an independent sex-related difference (P < 0.01 and P < 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Women more commonly develop vectorcardiographic signs of severe myocardial ischemia, more frequently experience episodes of ischemia and report more severe angina pectoris during elective PTCA than do men.
