Womenin the age group 50 – 59 years was the commonest category (33.7%) to have normal coronary angiography, whereas the commonest age group for males was 40 to 49 years. Patients above 70 years of age were very less commonly to have normal coronaries (only in 8.5%).   Conclusion:  Normal coronaries on cardiac catheterization is a recognized finding in both men and women.
