2025年1月21日 · Microvascular angina is a type of angina (chest pain) that happens because of problems in the small blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood to your heart. A lack of oxygen can damage your heart muscle, which can start to die.

2025年1月27日 · This type of angina, or chest pain, may be a symptom of coronary microvascular disease (MVD). Coronary MVD affects the heart’s smallest coronary artery blood vessels. The American Heart Association explains microvascular angina.

What Is Microvascular Angina? Angina is any chest pain that occurs when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood to meet its work demand, a condition called ischemia. The most common source of angina is obstructive coronary disease, which happens when one of the heart’s arteries is blocked.

2021年11月9日 · Small vessel disease is a condition in which the walls of the small arteries in the heart aren't working properly. This reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and other signs and symptoms of heart disease.

Microvascular angina (MVA), previously known as cardiac syndrome X, [1] also known as coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) or microvascular coronary disease is a type of angina (chest pain) with signs associated with decreased blood flow to heart tissue but with normal coronary arteries.

2025年1月27日 · Women with coronary MVD often have microvascular angina, a kind of chest pain. They might have chest pain that lasts a long time and happens at rest. Other signs and symptoms of coronary MVD: People with coronary MVD often first notice symptoms during daily activities and mental stress.

2016年12月30日 · A type of cardiovascular disease known to physicians as microvascular angina affects the heart's tiniest arteries and causes chest pain. The disease is sneaky, in that it doesn't...

Patients with microvascular angina are at higher risk for major adverse cardiac events including MI, stroke, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and death but to date there are no clear evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment.

Microvascular angina is common among patients with signs and symptoms of acute coronary syndrome and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Unfortunately, microvascular is often under-recognized in clinical settings.

Microvascular angina (sometimes called cardiac syndrome X) is an under-diagnosed condition caused by problems with the smallest arteries of the heart. Juan Carlos Kaski, Professor of Cardiovascular Science, explains to Sarah Brealey.
