Aims: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a heterogeneous condition defined by reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR). The new index 'microvascular resistance reserve' (MRR) has been developed, but its role is unclear. We investigate the relationships between functional indices in ANOCA (angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries) patients and evaluate the hemodynamic features of different CMD subtypes.

Background: A coronary function test (CFT) is the recommended diagnostic test to identify coronary vasomotor dysfunction as a cause of symptoms in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). Acetylcholine is the commonly used pharmacological agent for spasm provocation. We aimed to investigate an association between severity of symptoms and provocative acetylcholine dose.

Background: Angina with no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) occurs in approximately 40 % of patients who undergo diagnostic coronary angiography for symptoms of angina. Coronary physiology assessment (CPA) is a guideline proven method to assess and diagnose these patients for an effective treatment strategy. There is currently no data regarding optimal wire or sensor position for CPA using bolus coronary thermodilution.

Department of Cardiology, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, affiliated with the School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Israel.

Background: Angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is commonly observed in patients with stable angina undergoing coronary angiography. Current guidelines recommend non-invasive stress testing as the first step in diagnosing coronary microvascular disease (CMD). This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of non-invasive stress testing in patients invasively diagnosed with CMD.
