Different definition of microvascular angina [PDF]
AbstractWe sometimes encounter patients with microvascular angina (MVA), a disease characterized by anginal pain without abnormal coronary arteriographic findings or coronary spasm. More than 40 years have passed since MVA was first confirmed. The terms ‘syndrome X’, ‘cardiac syndrome X’ and ‘microvascular dysfunction’ have also been used to describe ...

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 ...

Combination of Variant and Microvascular Angina [PDF]
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 ...

ABSTRACT We report a 54‐year‐old woman with stable angina who exhibited heterogeneous responses of tandem left anterior descending artery (LAD) plaques to intensive lipid‐lowering therapy. Coronary CT angiography performed at another hospital suggested diffuse disease, and she presented to our clinic for a second opinion.
