What is the prognosis and quality of life for patients with microvascular angina?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Microvascular angina is associated with a substantial risk for MACE, especially in patients with hypertension and prior CAD, and women experience lower quality of life despite similar prognosis.
This first international study provides novel evidence that MVA is an important health problem regardless of sex or ethnicity that a diagnosis of MVA portends a substantial risk for MACE associated with hypertension and previous history of CAD, and that women have a lower quality of life than men despite the comparable prognosis.
