Incidence, Clinical Factors, and Endotype Characterization of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing <sup>13</sup>N-Ammonia Positron Emission Tomography
Among patients with non-obstructive CAD, approximately 1 in 5 had PET-assessed CMD. Age, female sex, anemia, and hypertension were independent clinical factors associated with impaired MFR, which explained a limited portion of its variability. Further examination of unidentified or unmeasured factors is warranted.
