E N D
Learning objectives To improve patient management through a better understanding of: • Pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia • Efficacy and safety of behavioral and pharmacologic approaches to minimize recurring ischemic episodes • Clinical trials investigating multiple treatment targets • Current clinical guidelines
Curriculum overview • Epidemiology and prevalence of myocardial ischemia • Magnitude of the problem • Challenges in selected populations • Issues in contemporary clinical practice • Scientific review • Clinical trial update • New guidelines in myocardial ischemia management • Risk stratification
Chronic ischemic heart disease: Overview • Highly prevalent • 6.5-16.5 million in the US • Multifactorial etiology • CAD, hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease • High socioeconomic burden • Depression • ↓Quality of life • High costs of care Gibbons RJ et al. www.acc.org.

WISE: Landmark study in women Prospective cohort study conducted at 4 US sites Goals: • Improve diagnostic testing for ischemic heart disease in women • Study pathophysiologic mechanisms for ischemia in the absence of epicardial coronary artery stenoses • Evaluate the influence of menopausal status and reproductive hormone levels on diagnostic testing results Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Bairey Merz CN et al.
