Homogeneity of the coronary microcirculation in angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease
In most ANOCA patients, microvascular function is homogeneously distributed across the three major coronary territories. Single-artery testing may suffice in many cases, aligning with guidelines. However, some patients exhibit notable inter-territorial variation, suggesting that multi-vessel evaluation may be prudent in borderline scenarios.
