Key result
The WISE workshop reviewed studies of ischemic heart disease to examine gender differences in cardiac ischemia and address research needs for improved diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in women.
The WISE workshop report highlights the high prevalence of nonobstructive CAD and microvascular dysfunction in women with ischemic symptoms, calling for improved, sex-specific diagnostic pathways.
May inform sex-specific ischemia evaluation in women; leaves open prospective validation of tailored diagnostics.
T he WISE workshop was convened to review results from the Women's Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation (WISE) study and other studies of ischemic heart disease to examine the nature and scope of gender differences in both chronic and acute cardiac ischemia, in terms of clinical manifestations, detection, and treatment. This section addresses research needs in improved diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in women.
