Table 1Percentage of people estimated to have CAD according to typicality of symptoms, age, sex and risk factors

	Non-anginal chest pain				Atypical angina				Typical angina
	Men		Women		Men		Women		Men		Women
Age (years)	Lo	Hi	Lo	Hi	Lo	Hi	Lo	Hi	Lo	Hi	Lo	Hi
35	3	35	1	19	8	59	2	39	30	88	10	78
45	9	47	2	22	21	70	5	43	51	92	20	79

: Values are per cent with CAD.
: Adapted from (Pryor, D. B., Shaw, L., McCants, C. B. et al, 1993).
: Hi = High risk = diabetes, smoking and hyperlipidaemia (total cholesterol > 6.4 mmol/L)
: Lo = Low risk = none of these three. If there are resting ECG ST-T changes or Q waves, the likelihood of CAD is higher in each cell of the table.
: N.B. These results are likely to overestimate CAD in primary care populations
