Menopause is associated with significant elevations in serum cholesterol levels and a 3-fold increase in the risk of CAD.
However, the major indication for cardiac CT is cCTA for evaluation of CAD in symptomatic patients with low to intermediate risk of CAD.
In patients with a risk of CAD below 20%, stress echocardiography may present the most cost-effective study for initial evaluation.
Low adiponectin levels, a hormone secreted only from adipocytes, have been associated with an increased risk of CAD in observational studies.
