Five-year primary composite event rate according to risk factor category. Rates are presented for asymptomatic women (group 1) compared with symptomatic women with normal coronary arteries (0% stenosis) (group 2) and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (stenosis in any coronary artery of 1%–49%) (group 3). Cardiovascular risk factors include smoking, diabetes mellitus, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of greater than 130 mg/dL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of less than 50 mg/dL, family history of coronary artery disease, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 30 or more, and systolic blood pressure higher than 140 mm Hg. Primary composite event consists of nonfatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, stroke, or cardiovascular death. WISE indicates Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation; WTH, St James Women Take Heart Project. To convert cholesterol levels to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0259.
