Coronary Microvascular Reactivity to Adenosine Predicts Adverse Outcome in Women Evaluated for Suspected Ischemia. Results From the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute WISE (Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation) Study
2010, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Finally, reduced MBF reserve in patients with hypertrophic (9) or dilated cardiomyopathy (29) has predictive value for prognosis. Thus, the overall topic of coronary microvascular dysfunction and its clinical implications has increasing interest (11–13,15–18,38–43). A better understanding of adverse outcomes associated with dysfunctional microvessels could help to clarify the pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease in women and perhaps identify new targets for both diagnostic testing and therapeutic intervention.
