Invasive evaluation of coronary microvascular dysfunction [PDF]
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a prevalent cause of ischemic heart disease and is associated with poorer quality of life and worse patient outcomes. Both functional and structural abnormalities of the microcirculation can generate ischemia in the absence of epicardial stenosis or worsen concomitant obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).

Non-obstructive coronary artery disease is generally considered as a favorable type of pathology, however, a number of studies indicate that in non-obstructive atherosclerosis, the risk of such cardiovascular events as myocardial infarction, ischemic ...

P27 Prevalence of microvascular dysfunction in diabetic patients with normal gated spect
Introduction: Patients with diabetes have an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Microvascular dysfunction is an early sign of damage, associated with poorer prognosis in these patients, including those with normal gated SPECT.

Endothelial dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of vascular abnormalities in metabolic diseases and has been repeatedly demonstrated in coronary and peripheral circulation in mice fed high-fat diet (HFD), particularly after long-term HFD.

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an early feature of diabetic cardiomyopathy, which usually precedes the onset of diastolic and systolic dysfunction.

Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction, which is thought to contribute to compromised diastolic function, ultimately culminating in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Fluoroscopic methods of assessment of coronary microvascular dysfunction – a review of literature [PDF]
A large proportion of patients with angina and evidence of myocardial ischemia do not have obstructive coronary disease. One of the main mechanisms of ischemia/angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries is coronary microvascular dysfunction, which is ...

Background Microvascular complications are associated with an overtly increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients with diabetes including coronary microvascular injury which manifested as disruption of adherens junctions between cardiac microvascular ...

Pathophysiology and Diagnosis of Coronary Functional Abnormalities
Approximately one-half of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography for angina have no significant coronary atherosclerotic stenosis. This clinical condition has recently been described as ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA)

ACE-inhibition prevents postischemic coronary leukocyte adhesion and leukocyte-dependent reperfusion injury [PDF]
Objective: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), retained in the microvascular bed, can contribute to postischemic myocardial reperfusion injury. Since a beneficial effect of ACE-inhibition on reperfusion injury has been reported, we investigated the ...
