Odds ratio for women having coronary tortuosity with men as a reference.
Tortuosity outcome for all 3 arteries was adjusted for age and body mass index.
p-Values were calculated by chi-square; significance at p < 0.05.
OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval, LAD, left anterior descending artery; LCx, left circumflex artery; RCA, right coronary artery; Ref, reference.
