In the past two decades a number of studies have shown that abnormalities in the function and structure of coronary microcirculation can be detected in several cardiovascular diseases. the basis of the clinical setting in which it occurs, coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) can be classified into four types: CMD in the absence of any other cardiac disease; CMD in myocardial diseases; CMD in obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease; and iatrogenic CMD. In some instancesÂD represents an epiphenomenon, whereas in others it represents an importantÂker of risk or may contribute to the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia,Âs becoming a possible therapeutic target.Âs book provides an update on coronaryÂsiology a systematic assessment of microvascular abnormalities in cardiovascular diseases,Âthe hope that it will assist clinicians in prevention, detection management of CMD in their everyday activity.
