Key result
Cardiac syndrome X impairs quality of life and drives substantial healthcare costs without increasing mortality.
Why the study?
Patients with cardiac syndrome X present with typical chest pain and ischemic ECG changes despite normal coronary arteriograms, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

May warrant symptom management for quality-of-life impairment in cardiac syndrome X; leaves open effective interventions to reduce costs.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac syndrome X requires recognition by cardiovascular physicians to improve patient quality of life and reduce healthcare costs, despite not increasing mortality.
Juan Carlos Kaski (2004) conducted a case report in Cardiac Syndrome X (n=1). Diagnostic coronary arteriography was evaluated. Cardiac syndrome X severely impairs quality of life and represents a substantial cost burden despite not increasing mortality, as illustrated by a 55-year-old female patient.
