- Around 50% of women referred for invasive coronary angiography experience angina but have nonobstructive coronary arteries, with conditions like vasospastic angina and microvascular dysfunction being key issues.
- In a study from 2018 to 2023 involving 198 women, those who underwent coronary function testing (CFT) were more likely to be diagnosed with vasomotor disorders than those who only had coronary angiography (CA), with significant differences in the types of diagnoses given.
- The results showed that after CFT, there was a higher rate of changes in medications and a more aggressive approach to antianginal therapy compared to just undergoing CA, highlighting the importance of coronary function

Article Synopsis
- Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is prevalent among women, with cardiovascular disease being a major health risk; many experience angina due to nonobstructive coronary arteries, classified as angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA).
- The underlying causes of ischemia in ANOCA can be difficult to diagnose, leaving many women with ongoing symptoms and potential long-term health risks, while current diagnostic methods still largely focus on atherosclerosis.
- Recent advancements in diagnostic testing for ANOCA are outlined along with a proposed diagnostic algorithm, emphasizing the importance of personalized strategies based on individual medical histories and disease likelihood, aligning with expert guidelines.
