Women with repeated chest pain have a higher heart attack risk and they should be on optimal medical therapy to protect them. Check out this link. What do you think?
Most women develop ischemic heart disease without visible coronary blockages at all. As a result, their conditions are mostly misdiagnosed, especially in the earlier stages (images 1, 2, and 3). Most patients who die from heart attacks and sudden cardiac receive NO definitive diagnosis. Early detection of the first, second, and third-stage disease is NOT possible with ALL the conventional stress imaging tools. Cardiologists are TOO obsessed with detecting the final last stage, "obstructive CAD," so they can send the patients for PTCA/Stenting. or CABG without acknowledging the fact that cardiovascular disease has a predominantly preventable metabolic nature origin; therefore, lifestyle optimization can prevent and reverse the process, so the patient will never reach the fourth and latest stage of the disease. I spent my last 25 years of life proving this by developing MCG Technology.
Furthermore, patients develop the fourth stage of disease, and some will grow "collaterals to heal themselves," so to speak. The functional self-recovery can be very effective. No conventional tools can detect that unless an invasive coronary angiogram is carefully conducted. Any intervention can be potentially harmful to the patients with well-established collaterals. MCG Technology can detect all these functional changes of the heart if used as a definitive diagnostic and monitoring tool.

Also, 2/3 of the heart attacks in patients without obstructing disease, or the stage four in this picture.
