Introduction: A substantial proportion of patients with chronic coronary syndromes suffer from angina even after medical treatment and revascularization. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is discussed as a potential mechanism.

Aim: To assess angina status in patients with chronic coronary syndromes undergoing functional assessment of coronary circulation regarding the presence of coronary microcirculatory dysfunction.

Background: Aborted myocardial infarction (abMI) is a type of acute coronary syndrome in which patients treated with reperfusion avoid the great burden of necrosis. Yet, no definition of abMI in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) has been proposed so far.

Aims: This study aimed to identify patients with abMI and compare them with the remaining patients with ST‑segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Introduction: Preclinical, vascular response studies are limited due to lack of underlying disease. The available cholesterol-diet-based and genetic atherosclerotic models are not satisfactory due to long breeding, unpredictable lesion formation, low plaque volume and degree of stenosis.

Aim: To evaluate the vascular response to local, intramural delivery of human, highly atherogenic lipids into healthy domestic swine (DS) coronary arteries.
