Endothelial Dysfunction and Coronary Artery Spasm

Summary

Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) frequently accounts for myocardial ischemia in women. Endothelial dysfunction is a pathogenic factor in coronary spastic angina (CSA). CSA is an important cause of NOCAD diagnosed invasively by coronary angiography (CAG). Digital reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) provides noninvasive evaluation of endothelial dysfunction. The investigators hypothesized that the fingertip RH-PAT could predict the presence of CSA in women.
