Figure 3 From the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE), the Diamond probability of coronary artery disease (CAD) as compared with observed coronary disease prevalence in symptomatic women ages 35 to 45, 46 to 55, 56 to 65, and 66 to 75 years. These results note that probability estimates based upon data series of several decades ago overestimate the likelihood of coronary disease in women; as based upon a comparison of a contemporary series of women referred to coronary angiography. Atyp Ang = atypical angina; Nonang = non-angina; Typ Ang = typical angina. Solid bars = WISE prevalence; open bars = Diamond probability.
