Up to two-thirds of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have silent ischemia (SI), which predicts an adverse prognosis and can be a treatment target in obstructive CAD. Over 50% of women with ischemia and no obstructive CAD have coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), which is...
