Abstract: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is increasingly becoming the disease of the young. Not much is known regarding the risk factors & pattern of CAD in pre-menopausal Indian women. Aim was to study the differences in risk factor profile and coronary angiographic pattern of disease among pre- & post-menopausal women. Methods: A total of 1260 consecutive female patients who underwent coronary angiogram for suspected ischemic heart disease over a period of 2 years from Jan 2019 to Dec 2020 were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups, premenopausal group consisted of 240 (19.04 %) patients and postmenopausal group 1020 (80.95 %). Detailed risk factor profiles and angiographic patterns of disease were recorded and analyzed. Results: Premenopausal women were more likely to be obese (58.3 % Vs 47 %, p=0.05), hypothyroid (25 % Vs 11 %, p3 risk factors more frequently (43.5 % Vs 31 %, p=0.0071). Atypical chest pain was more common as presenting diagnosis among premenopausal women (24.4 % Vs 11.4 %, p
