No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether beta-blockers can improve coronary blood flow and reduce resistance in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do beta-blockers improve coronary blood flow in patients with ANOCA?
* Do beta-blockers reduce coronary microvascular resistance in these patients?

Researchers will compare a beta-blocker to a placebo to see if the medication has measurable effects on coronary circulation.

Participants will:

* Receive a beta-blocker or a placebo
* Undergo specialized heart tests (such as coronary flow and resistance measurements) before and after treatment.

Conditions

  • Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)
  • Angina (Stable)
