Summary

The broad objective is to advance our understanding of both in vivo anatomical and functional changes that are present in the coronary arteries in women who have an acute coronary syndrome. Specific focus will be placed on the age of the women as there may be distinct differences in younger women (\< 50 years) given the marked increase in mortality in this population.
