Female gender was associated with significantly greater pain intensity on the visual analogue scale and greater physical limitation related to anginal pain compared to men.
Cross-Sectional (n=128)
No
Women with chronic stable angina report greater pain intensity and physical limitation compared to men, highlighting the need for gender-specific approaches to evaluating and managing angina-related functional disability.

Multidimensional pain assessment may uncover gender differences in angina; hypothesis-generating, requires validation before practice implications.
Kimble et al. (2002) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease with chronic stable angina (n=128). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Pain characteristics (SF-MPQ) and perceived physical limitation (Seattle angina questionnaire). Female gender was associated with significantly greater pain intensity on the visual analogue scale and greater physical limitation related to anginal pain compared to men.
