Abstract

Knowledge of the effectiveness of cardioprotective medication in women with suspected ischemia is hampered by limited clinical trial data and heterogeneous risk. We assessed the effectiveness of cardioprotective medical treatment in women while adjusting for disease severity determined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).

Highlights

  • Knowledge of the effectiveness of cardioprotective medication in women with suspected ischemia is hampered by limited clinical trial data and heterogeneous risk

  • We assessed the effectiveness of cardioprotective medical treatment in women while adjusting for disease severity determined by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI)

  • Ischemic heart disease stratification predicted adverse cardiac events and the medication combination of a BB or CCA and no nitrate were independently associated with reduced risk of events
