Over 75% of patients with INOCA have identifiable coronary vasomotion disorders, experiencing comparable angina burden but reduced quality of life compared to obstructive coronary artery disease.

What is the prevalence and correlates of microvascular and vasospastic angina in patients with INOCA?
Over 75% of INOCA patients have identifiable coronary vasomotion disorders, experiencing comparable angina burden but reduced quality of life compared to those with obstructive CAD.
BACKGROUND: Determine the prevalence and correlates of microvascular and vasospastic angina in patients with symptoms and signs of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). METHODS: =0.041). RESULTS: =0.032]. CONCLUSIONS: Over three quarters of patients with INOCA have identifiable disorders of coronary vasomotion including microvascular and vasospastic angina. These patients have comparable angina burden but reduced quality of life compared to patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Microvascular angina and vasospastic angina are distinct disorders that may coexist but differ in associated clinical characteristics, symptoms, and angina severity.

Ford et al. (Sun,) conducted a observational in Ischemia and No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (INOCA). Over 75% of patients with INOCA have identifiable coronary vasomotion disorders, experiencing comparable angina burden but reduced quality of life compared to obstructive coronary artery disease.
