Objective: To see the frequency of coronary artery stenosis in the patients of stable angina having left bundle branchblock, and to see the effects of gender and age on this correlation. Design: Experimental case series. Setting: Bahawal Victoria Hospital,Bahawalpur. Period: June 2006 to May 2008. Methods: One hundred and forty one (141) patients of Stable Angina presenting with atypicalchest pain, both male and female of 30—70 years age, positive for LBBB and with normal Cardio-Thoracic Ratio, normal echocardiographyand negative for conventional risk factors and family history of Coronary Artery Disease were taken. All patients were angiographied .Results: A total of 141 patients were investigated through coronary angiogram to see the frequency of coronary artery stenosis in thesepatients. Ninety five (67.4%) patients proved to have coronary artery stenosis. The male patients showed higher frequency (87.4%) ofharboring coronary vessel blockade as compared to that (35.2%) in females (P value 0.05). Conclusions: There is significant difference (P value <0.0005) in coronary artery stenosisamong men and women having LBBB.
