I regret to hear how your initial symptoms were disregarded. You correctly state that woman with coronary disease often has atypical symptoms, which are overlooked. We are trying to increase the awareness of physicians to focus more on coronary disease in women. Also, there is a big study funded by the National Institutes of Health evaluating coronary disease in women. I hope you find this information useful.
