Association of Coronary Microvascular Rarefaction and Myocardial Fibrosis With Coronary Artery Disease
CAD was associated with coronary microvascular rarefaction and increased myocardial fibrosis. The association of CAD with coronary microvascular rarefaction and increased myocardial fibrosis may contribute to the increased risks of death, myocardial infarction and heart failure that accompany CAD, and may attenuate the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention on cardiovascular risk in people with stable angina.
