Obstructive Coronary Atherosclerosis and Ischemic Heart Disease: An Elusive Link!
Key result
A proposed pathophysiological model for ischemic heart disease shifts the focus from obstructive epicardial coronary atherosclerosis to the microvasculature and myocardial cell.
Why the study?
The direct causal relationship between obstructive coronary atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease may be an oversimplified view, as ischemia occurs with or without obstructive disease and stenosis removal fails to address underlying pathological mechanisms.
