*

Adjusted model includes the following covariates: age, race, BMI, prior MI, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal disease, smoking history, noncardiac Charlson comorbidity index >1, and year of cath. Interaction between CAD severity and sex was significant in both the unadjusted and adjusted models (interaction P < .001 for both).
