Coronary microvascular dysfunction in women with nonobstructive ischemic heart disease as assessed by positron emission tomography
Traditional approaches for risk assessment of ischemic heart disease (IHD) are based on the physiological consequences of an epicardial coronary stenosis. Of note, normal coronary arteries or nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common finding in women with signs and symptoms of ischemi...
