Coronary venous therapy to improve microvascular dysfunction
Why the study?
Understanding of coronary microvascular disease remains incomplete with no specific therapy available, and the role of the coronary venous circulation in regulating coronary resistances is largely unexplored.
Do coronary sinus interventions improve coronary perfusion in patients with coronary microvascular disease?

Implication
Coronary sinus interventions should not yet alter management of ischemic heart disease; leaves open their role pending controlled trials.
Structured PICO
Do coronary sinus interventions improve coronary perfusion in patients with coronary microvascular disease?
P
Population
Patients with acute and chronic coronary microvascular disease and ischaemic heart disease
I
Intervention
Coronary sinus interventions (surgical and catheter-based)
This review highlights the potential of coronary sinus interventions to treat ischemic heart disease and coronary microvascular dysfunction by modulating coronary venous pressure.
