Abstract

Patients with symptoms of ischaemia without obstructive coronary artery disease present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Microvascular angina (MVA) was called before syndrome X. Invasive coronary angiography used commonly to assess those patients. This article provides a common pathway to diagnose MVA using different invasive and non-invasive tests. In addition, it provides insights for treatment and management of patients in this common clinical scenario.
