Detailed Description

In order to investigate which ischemia diagnostic presents which sensitivity and specificity for postmenopausal women, 100 consecutive patients presenting to our abmulance with stable angina pectoris and indication for myocardial szintigraphy will be enrolled in this study. An addidional stress-echocardiography and stress-MRI will be performed in this patients before they will reiceve their again routine coronay angiography.

The different methods for ischemia diagnostic will be compared in order to determine the most valid method for this specific population.
