Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CMD involves abnormalities in the tiny distal vessels of the coronary tree that cannot be seen on a standard angiogram. It includes impaired vasodilation or increased microvascular resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Mechanism:<\/strong> Inadequate blood flow to the myocardium despite &#8220;clean&#8221; epicardial arteries. Abnormalities of function and structure of coronary microcirculation can occur in patients without obstructive coronary atherosclerosis, but with risk factors or with myocardial disease as well as in patients with obstructive atherosclerosis.
