Demographic details and past medical history (hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia) were collected using a questionnaire.

Findings: The mean age, coronary involvement score, and the Duke Score were 50.18±8.71 years, 5.85±5.50 and 22.35±14.75, respectively. The coronary involvement score in women with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension was higher than those without such complications (p
