Reduced Microvascular Blood Volume as a Driver of Coronary Microvascular Disease in Patients With Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Rationale and Design of the MICORDIS Study

Reduced Microvascular Blood Volume as a Driver of Coronary Microvascular Disease in Patients With Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Rationale and Design of the MICORDIS Study

Background: Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is part of the ischemic heart disease spectrum, and is particularly observed in women. INOCA has various mechanisms, such as coronary vasospasm and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). A decreased coronary flow reserve (CFR) an...
