Overview
Pretest probability of coronary artery disease is assessed basing upon the age, gender and the symptoms. Patients are stratified into very low, low, intermediate, and high risk for CAD.[1]
Pretest Probability
Data exists for patients of age group 30 - 70 years. It can be assumed that risk/prevalence of coronary artery disease increases with age. Shown below is a tabulated form of pretest probabilities based upon age, gender, and symptoms. (Adapted from the presentation of Robert B. McCully,MD)
Age | Gender | Asymptomatic | Non-Anginal Chest Pain | Atypical Chest Pain |
Typical Chest Pain |
30 - 39 y | Men | Very Low | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate |
Women | Very Low | Very Low | Very Low | Intermediate | |
40 - 49 y | Men | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate | High |
Women | Very Low | Very Low | Low | Intermediate | |
50 - 59 y | Men | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate | High |
Women | Very Low | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate | |
60 - 69 y | Men | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate | High |
Women | Low | Intermediate | Intermediate | High |
Key Points
- Low Probability
- Asymptomatic men and women of all ages.
- Women of age < 50 years with atypical chest pain.
- Intermediate Probability
- Men of all ages with atypical angina.
- Women > 49 years of age with atypical angina.
- Women of age group 30 - 50 years with typical angina.
- High Probability
- Men > 39 years with typical angina.
- Women > 59 years with typical angina.
