Abstract

Myocardial ischemia, a hallmark of coronary artery disease (CAD), is not always caused by the narrowing or blockage of the epicardial coronary arteries. In many patients, coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) plays a pivotal role. CMD involves structural and functional abnormalities in the coronary microcirculation that result in insufficient myocardial perfusion, leading to symptoms such as angina and ischemia. Diagnosing and managing CMD is more complex than traditional CAD due to its subtle presentation and the challenges it poses in clinical settings. Therefore, understanding how myocardial parameters influence CMD is crucial for improving patient outcomes and advancing therapeutic strategies.
