Ischemia with No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (INOCA): A Review

Background: Ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is characterized by myocardial ischemia in the absence of significant coronary artery stenosis. Despite the lack of major obstructive lesions, patients often present with chest pain, making diagnosis and management a significan...
