- Abstract—Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of mortality in India. Deaths due to CAD occur 5–10 years earlier in the Indians than in Western countries. Coronary artery disease (CAD) in young women, who are previously considered as low risk group, is on rise now due to various reasons. This study is aimed to find out the prevellance of CAD in young women admitted for evaluation of chest pain. The data of women suspected to have CAD and underwent cardioangiography (CAG) over a period of 1 year was analyzed. The discharge summaries, coronary angiograms and angiogram reports were studied to get information about clinical and angiographic profiles of these women in the “young group” (age < 55 years). Study showed normal epicardial coronaries in 37.5 % of women, non-significant lesion in 19% women and intermediate lesion in 10% women and obstructive CAD in 33.5 % of women. There were 18 % women with SVD, 13 % women with DVD and 2.5% women with TVD. Study concludes that there is an alarming increase in the proportion of young women angiographically diagnosed to have significant coronary artery disease.
