Microvascular angina: angina that predominantly affects women [PDF]

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2015
In women receiving evaluation for suspected ischemic symptoms, a "normal" diagnosis is five times more common than it is in men. These women are often labeled as having cardiac syndrome X, also known as microvascular angina (MVA). MVA is defined as angina pectoris caused by abnormalities of the small coronary arteries, and is characterized by effort ...

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction, Microvascular Angina, and Management [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Cardiology Reports, 2015
Recent analyses have found that coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) portends a poor prognosis in patients with and without obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD). Chest pain in the absence of epicardial CAD is a common entity. Angina caused by CMD, microvascular angina (MVA), is often indistinguishable from that caused by obstructive

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]

open access: yes, 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.

Recurrence of angina after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: the role of coronary microvascular obstruction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: The recurrence of angina after percutaneous coronary intervention affects 20-35% of patients with stable coronary artery disease; however, few data are available in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Combination of Variant and Microvascular Angina [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, 2009
AbstractPrinzmetal's variant angina (VA) and cardiac syndrome X (CSX) are two distinct, usually easily recognizable, forms of angina syndromes, caused by epicardial spasm, usually responsible for transient transmural myocardial ischemia at rest and by coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD), usually responsible for effort induced subendocardial ...

Continuous Versus Bolus Thermodilution‐Derived Coronary Flow Reserve and Microvascular Resistance Reserve and Their Association With Angina and Quality of Life in Patients With Angina and Nonobstructive Coronaries: A Head‐to‐Head Comparison

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) are physiological parameters to assess coronary microvascular dysfunction. CFR and MRR can be assessed using bolus or continuous thermodilution, and the correlation between

Exertional chest pain is sometimes more than just coronary atherosclerosis

open access: yesRevista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2021
Clinical case: A 64-year-old male, with cardiovascular risk factors and previous history of bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, presented with exertional retrosternal pain. The resting echocardiogram was unremarkable.
