This review briefly addresses the clinical presentation, mechanisms and management of patients with chronic primary stable MVA.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
From the group of patients in the present study who complained of chest pain and did not present with epicardial stenosis, MVA was diagnosed in 23.4% of the patients, which was consistent with the rate reported by previous studies ( 22, 25 ).[physiology.org]
There is at present no known cure however a change in lifestyle is important. Patients should start following healthier diets which are low in saturated fats, and should participate in regular physical activities.[en.wikipedia.org]
The risk factors include abdominalobesity, meaning excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen, atherogenic dyslipidemia which is a blood fat disorder, and elevated blood pressure. [2] Other risk factors are insulin resistance or intolerance to glucose[en.wikipedia.org]
Some studies have found increased risk of other vasospastic disorders in cardiac microvascular angina parients, such as migraine and Raynaud'sphenomenon.[en.wikipedia.org]

CMVD can be found in many cardiac or systemic diseases, e.g. cardiomyopathies, coronary atherosclerosis, immunological conditions, systemic hypertension.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Microvascular angina is an chronic long term condition which increases the risk of heart attack and other cardiac events such as heartfailure and frequent hospital admissions.The treatment consists of drugs, mainly to relieve chest pain, but a very important[en.wikipedia.org]
We excluded patients with possible heartfailure (left ventricular ejection fraction 12-mm left ventricular wall thickness in echocardiography), severe hypertension (HT; 160/110 mmHg), valvular heart disease, and malignant diseases.[physiology.org]

In some MVA patients, both the early appearance of ECG abnormalities and/or angina during the stress test and the lack of response to sublingual nitrate administration often suggests a microvascular origin of symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, the low rate of increase in the MVA PM group suggests dysfunctional EET upregulation.[physiology.org]

Older people are more at risk to develop this condition, and there is some evidence that suggests that there are genetic mutations that predispose to the syndrome. [3] Women are more prone to this condition than men, as well as those who have a history[en.wikipedia.org]
Vasoactive drugs, including calcium-antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and nitrates were withdrawn at least 5 days before patients entered this study; sublingual nitroglycerin was withdrawn within 24[physiology.org]
Dyslipidemia (DLP) was defined as low-density lipoprotein 140 mg/dl, high-density lipoprotein 150 mg/dl.[physiology.org]
The risk factors include abdominal obesity, meaning excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen, atherogenic dyslipidemia which is a blood fat disorder, and elevated blood pressure. [2] Other risk factors are insulin resistance or intolerance to glucose[en.wikipedia.org]
[…] part of the treatment is regularly visiting the doctor and repeating the tests to make sure the condition was taken care of in full.[en.wikipedia.org]
