Summary

Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia(MSIMI) has been recognized a significant clinical problem. Evidence has shown that individuals with MSIMI have 2 to 2.5 times higher risk to develop a major averse cardiovascular events over 3-5 years, compared to their counterparts who have no MSIMI. Nevertheless, investigations into the study of MSIMI among women who have chest pain but artery stenosis \< 50% have been lacking. In this project, the investigators used positron emission tomography (PET) to evaluate perfusion defect during mental stress to diagnose MSIMI. Women with chest pain and coronary artery stenosis \< 50% were included as the experimental group, age-matched healthy people as the control group, the aim of this study is to compare the incidence of MSIMI in the two groups. At the same time, the study also observe the change of MBF during mental stress and the relationship between MBF and MSIMI.

Conditions

  • Non-Obstructive Coronary Atherosclerosis

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Mental Stress Test

In this study, we compare MSIMI prevalence in the two groups (chest pain group and no chest pain group). Each subject in both groups receive the same mental stress test process, and the mental stress test process have 3 consecutive stress tests, which including: Stroop Color-Word test; Public speaking with anger recall test and Mental arithmetic test.
