Abstract 18268: Angina and Functional Capacity Among Women Presenting With Angina and Non-Obstructive Coronary Disease

Introduction: Approximately 75% of women that undergo coronary angiography for angina do not have obstructive disease. However, a significant number have persistent angina, which can reduce their functional capacity and performance, impacting patients’ quality of life. There is a need for further studies that accurately compare angina and functional capacity among women angina with non-obstructive coronary disease (ANOCA). Objective: We examined the association between perceived anginal symptoms and functional capacity in patients with ANOCA Methods: A the Women’s Heart Center at the Christ Hospital, all women completed the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) and Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7 (SAQ7) at the initial visit. DASI score range from 0 to 58.2 and assess functional capacity using self-assessment and VO2 peak formula with higher scores indicating better functional capacity. SAQ7 assesses angina symptoms, physical limitation, and quality of life; the score is from 0-100, where a lower score indicates a higher frequency of angina, increased physical limitation, and poor quality of life. DASI and SAQ7 scores were correlated. Sperman correlation and Mcnemar chi-square were used to compare DASI and SAQ7 score results. Results: Among 225 women with ANOCA, the mean DASI score was 16.73, and the mean SAQ7 score was 43.79. 63.1% reported a low score of SAQ7, and 79.6% reported a low DASI score. SAQ7 and DASI were moderately correlated (Spearman correlation of +0.42). Further analysis with McNemar chi- square showed that women with lower SAQ7 (score 0-49.4) tends to corresponds with low DASI (score 0-24.5) (Specificity 86.6%), compared to women with higher SAQ7 (score 49.5-100) and high DASI (score 24.6-58.2) (Sensitivity 32.5%) (p<0.001). Discussion: Anginal symptoms are correlated with reduced functional capacity among women with ANOCA. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the correlation between angina improvement and functional capacity.
