The findings call for a major shift in the treatment of women with chest pain or other symptoms and normal angiograms, said Dr. George Sopko of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

"Every time we turn around, we find more gender differences, so it's important to study," said Dr. C. Noel Bairey Merz, a cardiologist...

How politically incorrect can you be? I hope Dr. C. Noel Bairey Merz isn't a man.

Hi neverdem,
I just posted to the thread for Judy as she approaches her death--(it's scary to even write that--God bless her!) So sad.

Anyway, I clicked a link to her list of posts and saw this thread.
This is an issue (perhaps) for me. I have been having chest pain off and on, but consistently, for about a year now.
I have tried to read about "typical" chest pain symptoms to see if my symptoms matched. They never really did...until I found some information about microvascular angina. I have yet to see the cardiologist because I have been dealing with skin cancer and, having gotten that resolved, hoped to get better health insurance. So I put the chest issues "on hold".
Do you mind if I ask if this is something you are dealing with? Is there a web site you know about that might be of interest to me regarding this issue?
Thanks for anything you can share.

Prayers for Judy and her family. It must have been such a shock--no matter that they warn you of possible serious risks with these procedures.
