In patients with suspected ischaemic heart disease undergoing invasive coronary angiography, coronary microvascular dysfunction defined by MRR ≤2.5 was observed among one-third of patients, and was associated with an increased risk of a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, clinically-driven repeat revascularisation, or hospitalisation for heart failure.
BACKGROUND
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) plays a significant role in the prognosis of patients with ischaemic heart disease.
AIMS
In this analysis of the study to Improve Clinical Outcomes in high-risk patieNts with acute coronary syndrome (ICON1), we investigated the association between CMD and long-term...

In this two-center cohort of patients with complete revascularization after PCI, D-SPECT-derived CMD is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of future MACE, independent of traditional risk factors and perfusion abnormalities.

Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a complication of severe aortic stenosis. Its prevalence after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and prognostic significance are understudied, as are the post-TAVI trajectories of microvascular indices. Aims The aims of this study were to determine the...

BACKGROUND
Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCAs) and angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCAs) present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We assessed the frequency of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) and its subtypes in MINOCA compared with ANOCA and evaluated long-te...

Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital coronary artery anomaly in which a segment of an
epicardial coronary artery follows an intramyocardial course, resulting in dynamic systolic compression of the
tunneled vessel. Although traditionally considered a benign anatomical variant, increasing evidence suggest...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Comprehensive evaluation by invasive coronary function test (CFT) of patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary artery disease is recommended in current guidelines. The prognosis of patients with CFT-proven coronary vasomotor dysfunction (CVDys) is less well-known.
METHODS
Patients that pro...
