Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2016 Coronary artery ectasia is a rare angiographical finding, and it accounts for less than 5% of all coronary angiograms. We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with fatigue and exertional chest pain.

The invasive investigation of INOCA in the coronary catheterization lab
American Heart Journal PlusOver half of all patients with angina have no angiographically demonstratable obstructive coronary disease, with a significant proportion of these patients having undiagnosed microvascular dysfunction and/or vasospastic angina.

Exploring coronary microvascular dysfunction from functional impairment and structural damage [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineCoronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a syndrome characterized by myocardial ischemia resulting from structural and/or functional impairments of the coronary microvasculature, which includes pre-arterioles, arterioles, and capillaries. It has taken

Invasive coronary physiology in patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary artery disease: a consensus document from the coronary microvascular dysfunction workstream of the British Heart Foundation/National Institute for Health Research Partnership [PDF]
, 2022 Nearly half of all patients with angina have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA); this is an umbrella term comprising heterogeneous vascular disorders, each with disparate pathophysiology and prognosis.

THE SLOW CORONARY FLOW PHENOMENON IS NOT A GOOD PREDICTOR OF CORONARY MICROCIRCULATORY DYSFUNCTION AS ASSESSED BY ABSOLUTE CORONARY FLOW RESERVE IN PATIENTS WITH ANGIOGRAPHICALLY NORMAL CORONARY ARTERIES [PDF]
, 2012 The slow coronary flow phenomenon is not a good predictor of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction as assessed by absolute CFR. It might reflect, however, only a resting microcirculatory abnormality and probably remains a multifactorial ...
