Popis: Women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have worse cardiovascular prognosis than asymptomatic women. Limitation in myocardial perfusion caused by coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is one of the proposed mechanisms contributing to the adverse prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess myocardial perfusion in symptomatic women with no obstructive CAD suspected for CMD compared with asymptomatic sex-matched controls using static CT perfusion (CTP). We performed a semi-quantitative assessment of the left ventricular myocardial perfusion and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR), using static CTP with adenosine provocation, in 105 female patients with angina and no obstructive CAD (
