Coronary microvascular function and atherosclerotic plaque burden in ischaemia and no obstructive coronary arteries: a secondary analysis of the cormica trial

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: To address these knowledge gaps, the authors aimed to investigate the relationships between atherosclerosis and microvascular function in a well-­defined, prospectively recruited population. As all participants in this study had no obstructive coronary artery disease, the maximum unweighted score anticipated per coronary segment was 4 (moderate luminal stenosis with FFR >0.80). The authors provide a systematic global plaque assessment of all coronary segments in the SYNTAX classification using the Gensini score, a validated measure of coronary atherosclerosis burden. The study had a cross-­ sectional design and future cohort studies should clarify longer-­ term prognostic . . .
