Popis: BACKGROUND: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are likely to exist side-by-side, thereby probably inducing angina pectoris symptoms of some patients not effectively relieved after revascularization. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics exhibited by CMD in patients with recurrent chest pain who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before. METHODS: We conducted a single-center cross-sectional retrospective study. A total of 373 patients having received PCI were hospitalized for recurrent chest pain. Subsequently, they underwent coronary angiography and a rest/stress dynamic and routine gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). At the vascular level, if any coronary artery stenosis
