Background: A large proportion of patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) has underlying coronary vasomotor dysfunction (CVDys), which can be diagnosed by a coronary function test (CFT). Coronary tortuosity is a common angiographic finding during the CFT. Yet, no data exist on the association between vasomotor dysfunction and coronary tortuosity.Aim: To investigate the association between CVDys and coronary tortuosity in patients with ANOCAMethods: All consecutive ANOCA patients who underwent clinically indicated CFT between February 2019 and November 2020 were included. CFT included acetylcholine spasm testing to diagnose epicardial or microvascular spasm, and adenosine testing to diagnose microvascular dysfunction (MVD). MVD was defined as an index of microvascular resistance (IMR) ≥ 25 and/or coronary flow reserve (CFR) |
