Stress echocardiographic (SE) testing is an important modality in cardiovascular risk stratification and obstructive coronary artery disease assessment.

Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. Yet, it remains unclear whether TGW exhibit a distinct stress testing profile from their cisgender counterparts.
