Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) (ANOCA), ischemia with non-obstructive CAD (INOCA), or myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) occurs when the microvasculature fails to adequately perfuse the myocardium under stress or at rest in microvascular spasm, resulting in ANOCA/INOCA/MINOCA. Evolving evidence now indicates that non-obstructive CAD is the predominant phenotype of ischemic heart disease. These conditions contribute significantly to death, disability, and poor quality of life while consuming significant healthcare resources.
These conditions represent frequent clinical challenges with currently limited treatment options. Progress will be made as we improve our diagnostic testing capabilities and develop therapies specifically designed to address microvascular dysfunction. This Special Issue, titled "INOCA, ANOCA, and MINOCA: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment," aims to provide an overview of the latest insights into the pathophysiology of these conditions, the latest challenges in diagnosis and innovative diagnostic techniques, and emerging treatment strategies on coronary microvascular dysfunction. This Special Issue aims to summarize these syndromes and their associated clinical outcomes, with an emphasis on potential mechanistic signals involving the endothelium, microvasculature, and cardiomyocyte function.
We warmly welcome the state-of-the-art reviews as well as original research articles that explore the intricacies of CMD and provide new perspectives on managing ANOCA, INOCA, and MINOCA effectively.
