When the Heart's Blueprint Goes Awry: Exploring Congenital Absence of the Left Circumflex Artery in a Case of Chronic Dyspnea

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Congenital absence of the left circumflex artery (CALCx) is a rare coronary anomaly that is often asymptomatic but sometimes presents with nonspecific symptoms that may be mistaken for obstructive coronary artery disease. We present the case of a 59‐year‐old woman with a long‐standing history of exertional dyspnea and recent onset of ...

Myocardial blood flow mechanism of mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia in women with ANOCA

iScience
Summary: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is linked to a 2-fold increase in cardiovascular events, but its underlying myocardial blood flow (MBF) mechanisms remain underexplored.

Coronary microvascular disease in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 16, August 2025.
Abstract The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing because of an aging population and an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle, predisposing to diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.

A recurrent typical angina pectoris without any finding in coronary angiography: Microvascular angina

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2024.
Key Clinical Message Microvascular angina (MVA) can present with recurrent chest pain and normal coronary angiography. Recognizing MVA is crucial as it significantly impacts patient morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and management with antianginal medications are essential for improving outcomes and quality of life.

The Diagnostic Value of ECG Characteristics for Vasospastic and Microvascular Angina: A Systematic Review

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 29, Issue 5, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary vascular dysfunction comprises VSA and/or MVA and is more common in women than in men with angina without obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA). Invasive coronary function testing is considered the reference test for diagnosis, but its burden on patients is large.

Continuous thermodilution and microvascular resistance reserve during the index procedure in acute coronary syndrome without obstructive coronary artery disease: A pilot study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 241-246, August 1, 2024.
Abstract Background In 5%−25% of non‐ST‐elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE‐ACS) patients, coronary angiography reveals no obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) is a potential causal pathophysiological mechanism in these patients and can be diagnosed by continuous thermodilution assessment.

Angina or ischemia with no obstructed coronary arteries: a specific diagnostic and therapeutic protocol

REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.)
Introduction and objectives: A systematic approach to patients with angina with no obstructed coronary arteries (ANOCA) or ischemia with no obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA) patients is not routinely implemented.

Decoding protein signaling networks in microvascular angina: the multi-target biochemical actions of traditional Chinese medicine

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
Although angina pectoris is among the most common conditions in cardiology, a substantial proportion of symptomatic patients exhibit persistent ischemia without flow-limiting epicardial coronary artery disease—termed ANOCA (angina with nonobstructive ...
