Sensitivity and specificity of gensini and friesinger score among pre-and postmenopausal women with acute coronary syndrome: A hospital based study in Bangladesh

Aim: Gensini score and friesinger score are an effective tool used to evaluate the severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). The risk of coronary artery disease in women after menopause sharply rises in contrast to that of women before menopause because of hormonal protection against atherosclerosis. Post-menopausal women presented with more severe Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) along with multiple comorbidity.However, there are limited data describing the sensitivity and specificity of gensini and friesinger score between pre- and postmenopausal women with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of Gensini and Friesinger score between pre-and postmenopausal women with ACS. Methods: In this cross sectional observational study a total of 140 female patients with acute coronary syndrome were enrolled. They were divided in Group-I (premenopausal) and Group-II (postmenopausal) on the basis of the state of menopause. The clinical data and coronary angiographic characteristics severity by Gensini and Friesinger score were compared between the premenopausal and postmenopausal ACS groups and then sensitivity and specificity were analyzed.
