Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Women and Men: A Single-Center Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is common in patients with and without obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD). Risk factors for the development of CMD have not been fully elucidated, and data regarding sex-associated differences in traditional cardiovascular risk factors for obstructive CAD in patients with CMD are lacking.

Methods

In this single-center, prospective registry, we enrolled patients with nonobstructive CAD undergoing clinically indicated invasive assessment of coronary microvascular function between November 2019 and March 2023. Associations between coronary microvascular dysfunction, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and sex were assessed using univariate and multivariate regression models.

Results

Overall, 245
