Pathophysiology of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Cardio Biology & Clinical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a group of disorders with heterogenous pathophysiology. At present there are no methods to pinpoint the underlying structural and functional disorder in a given patient. Identification of exact pathophysiology is necessary to tailor correct diagnostic approach and therapeutic modality
