Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

TLDR
This review discusses the pathogenesis and management of coronary microvascular dysfunction and factors to consider in clinical management are the cause of the dysfunction and whether it is iatrogenic, whether obstructive coronary artery disease is present, and whether myocardial disease ispresent.
Abstract
This review discusses the pathogenesis and management of coronary microvascular dysfunction. Factors to consider in clinical management are the cause of the dysfunction and whether it is iatrogenic, whether obstructive coronary artery disease is present, and whether myocardial disease is present.

2013 ESC guidelines on the management of stable coronary artery disease: the Task Force on the management of stable coronary artery disease of the European Society of Cardiology.

TL;DR: The If Inhibitor Ivabradine in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Left Ventricular Dysfunction is evaluated as well as patients with Diabetes mellitus for Optimal management of Multivessel disease.

The Assessment of Endothelial Function From Research Into Clinical Practice

TL;DR: The assessment of its vasodilator properties resulting from NO and other molecules may provide information on the integrity and function of the endothelium, and most, if not all, cardiovascular risk factors are associated with endothelial dysfunction, and risk factor modification leads to improvement in vascular function.

Coronary microvascular reactivity to adenosine predicts adverse outcome in women evaluated for suspected ischemia results from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute WISE (Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation) study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether coronary microvascular dysfunction predicts major adverse outcomes during follow-up among women with signs and symptoms of ischemia, and they found significant associations between CFR and major adverse events (death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or hospital stay for heart failure).
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term prognostic value of 13N-ammonia myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography added value of coronary flow reserve.

TL;DR: Perfusion findings in (13)N-ammonia PET and CFR are strong outcome predictors, suggesting a "warranty" period of 3 years if normal CFR is associated with normal perfusion and Conversely, in patients with abnormal perfusion, an impaired CFR has added value for predicting adverse outcomes.

Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: The Framingham Study

William B. Kannel, +1 more
- 11 May 1979 - 
TL;DR: After adjustment for other associated risk factors, the relative impact of diabetes on CHD, IC, or stroke incidence was the same for women as for men; for CVD death and CHF, it was greater for women.

A Novel Paradigm for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Comorbidities Drive Myocardial Dysfunction and Remodeling Through Coronary Microvascular Endothelial Inflammation

TL;DR: In this article, a new paradigm for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) development is proposed, which identifies a systemic proinflammatory state induced by comorbidities as the cause of myocardial structural and functional alterations.

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease: The Framingham study

TL;DR: For each of the cardiovascular diseases (CVD), morbidity and mortality were higher for diabetic women than for nondiabetic men and for CVD death and CHF, it was greater for women.

The “No-Reflow” Phenomenon after Temporary Coronary Occlusion in the Dog

TL;DR: Results suggest that 40 minutes of ischemia were tolerated by the capillary bed of the dog heart without serious capillary damage or perfusion defects, but that 90 min of ischemic injury was associated with the "no-reflow" phenomenon, i.e., failure to achieve uniform reperfusion.
