Disorders of endothelium-dependent vasodilation in patients with microvascular angina
Background: disorders of both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vasodilation play a role in the pathogenesis of microvascular angina (MVA), the contribution of which may be different.

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 ...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in two patients with microvascular angina [PDF]
We present two cases in which takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) developed immediately after a diagnosis of microvascular angina had been established. One patient who had been diagnosed as having endothelium-dependent microvascular angina (microvascular spasm)

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

Cutaneous and coronary flow reserve in patients with microvascular angina [PDF]
Microvascular angina is characterized by exercise-induced angina in patients with normal coronary arteries and reduced coronary flow reserve. Recently, a generalized disorder of abnormal vascular reactivity in microvascular angina has been postulated ...

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]
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.

Exertional chest pain is sometimes more than just coronary atherosclerosis
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.

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