OBJECTIVES: To examine sex differences pertaining to @entity158 characteristics in @entity1 presenting to the ambulatory @entity341 ( @entity341 ) with nontraumatic @entity662 and to the prediction of exercise-induced @entity63 on a follow-up electrocardiogram. METHODS: This was a prospective study of 131 @entity1 and 202 @entity1 (mean age 58 years) consulting the @entity341 with a chief complaint of @entity662 . Seventy-eight @entity1 and 116 @entity1 underwent exercise stress testing following the @entity341 consultation. @entity662 location, extension, intensity and quality were measured. @entity662 was classified as nonspecific, or typical or atypical of @entity951 . RESULTS: @entity1 received fewer 'typical' @entity158 diagnoses (P<0.05), rated their @entity158 as more intense (P<0.05) and used more affective words to describe their @entity158 (P<0.05) compared with @entity1 . @entity158 in the posterior shoulder and middle back areas were more frequently reported by @entity1 (P<0.05). The presence of @entity158 in the right anterior and posterior shoulder, as well as the absence of @entity158 in the left anterior shoulder, predicted @entity63 (P<0.05) in both @entity1 and @entity1 . Only in @entity1 , @entity158 in the retrosternal and right middle back areas, as well as a classification of @entity158 as typical or atypical, further contributed to the prediction of @entity63 . CONCLUSIONS: Sex differences exist in the experience of @entity662 and in the prediction of exercise-induced @entity63 from @entity158 variables. Further research on the unique symptomatology of @entity1 and @entity1 is needed to optimize their medical management.
