(ARCHIVED) Evaluation of Cardiac Symptoms in Women with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease
Join us for a case-based discussion about the gender differences in pathophysiology, risk factors, and clinical presentation of cardiovascular disease in women. This presentation will explore the evaluation of cardiac symptoms in women, including non-invasive and invasive imaging and emerging risk markers and will include benefits, limitations, risks and cost when choosing diagnostic strategies. 

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: 
  • Review the evidence for gender differences in cardiovascular disease pathophysiology, risk factors (i.e. pregnancy complications), and clinical presentation (atypical sx, tendency to delay). 
  • Summarize the evidence of gender differences in the utility of diagnostic strategies used to rule out obstructive coronary disease: including accuracy, limitations, cost burden and potential risk(s) associated with each testing modality- both noninvasive as well as invasive.  

AUDIENCE:
Nurses, advanced practice nurses, and other healthcare providers interested in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.
