Why the study?
Does major weight loss and intensified risk factor control improve angina burden and coronary microvascular function in overweight women with microvascular angina?
Does major weight loss and intensified risk factor control improve angina burden and coronary microvascular function in overweight women with microvascular angina?
Intensified risk factor control and weight loss can improve symptoms but not underlying microvascular function in overweight women with microvascular angina.
Supports symptom relief via weight loss and risk factor control in microvascular angina; challenges microvascular function improvement as necessary for clinical benefit.
A major weight loss and intensified risk factor control resulted in significantly improved angina burden but no improvement of coronary microvascular function among women with microvascular angina.
