Abstract: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a condition in which the distal microvasculature is compromised, resulting in inadequate blood flow to the subsequent arteries and myocardial ischemia. Index of microvascular resistance (IMR), which can quantify CMD,… read more here.

Abstract: Background In patients without coronary artery disease (CAD), few studies have evaluated the association between mean pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATMA) and patient-based demographic factors, for example, age or sex. Therefore, the purpose of this… read more here.
