The diagnosis of coronary artery disease in women has been thought to be more difficult than in men, owing to the lower overall prevalence of disease in women, as well as more subtle clinical presentations and unspecific changes in ST segment. The authors report a clinical case of a 61-year old woman, with low cardiovascular risk and history of atypical chest pain and a positive treadmill exercise test on the inferior leads. She did an exercise echocardiogram that revealed severe hypokinesis on the anterior wall and septum with late normalization. The patient was submitted to a coronary angiography that revealed normal arteries. An echocardiogram with hyperventilation was later performed and showed the same ischemic changes as exercise did, on the inferior leads but no regional wall motions abnormalities occurred. The patient is currently asymptomatic under calcium antagonist treatment.
