Women with cardiac syndrome X exhibit features of the insulin resistance syndrome and impaired peripheral microvascular function

Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC) method. Endothelial function was studied in 27 patients with SCF ( 23 male, 4 female, mean age 47.6+ 6.7) and in 30 subjects (22 male, 8 female, mean age 47.5i7.4) with normal coronary flow (NCF). ResultsThe mean CTFC (CTFC,) was significantly higher in patients with SCF (45.6*9.6 frames, pinversely related to percent of FMD (r=-0.29. pinversely related to percent FMD (r=-0.36, pcO.O5).The CTFC, was also inversely related to NTG-induced dilatation in the 57 subjects (r=-0.23. pinversely related to percent of FMD only (r=-0.37, p
