Classical anti-ischemic drugs are the first-line form of treatment in patients with microvascular angina (MVA), but they often fail to achieve a satisfactory control of angina symptoms. It is unknown whether there is any relation between improvement of angina status and changes in microvascular function induced by classical anti-ischemic drugs in MVA ...

Microvascular Angina as a Cause of Ischemia: An Update
Since initial reports over four decades ago, the diagnosis and the management of “microvascular angina” continue to be a troublesome dilemma for physicians. Microvascular angina is suspected in those patients presenting with angina or angina-like chest pain whose coronary angiograms show no evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Many of these

Invasive Diagnosis of Coronary Functional Disorders Causing Angina Pectoris
Coronary vasomotion disorders represent a frequent cause of angina and/or dyspnoea in patients with non-obstructed coronary arteries. The highly sophisticated interplay of vasodilatation and vasoconstriction can be assessed in an interventional ...
