Coronary microvascular dysfunction refers to impairment in the small blood vessels of the heart that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. This condition can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is often seen in patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes, mechanisms, and potential treatments for coronary microvascular dysfunction to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
