Pericardial fat volume is related to endothelial-mediated coronary blood flow in women with suspected coronary microvascular dysfunction. A report from the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation-Coronary Vascular Dysfunction (WISE-CVD) study

Pericardial fat volume is related to endothelial-mediated coronary blood flow in women with suspected coronary microvascular dysfunction. A report from the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation-Coronary Vascular Dysfunction (WISE-CVD) study

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction is prevalent in women with signs and symptoms of ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with an adverse prognosis. Elevated pericardial fat volume predicts adverse cardiac events, but mechanistic pathways of the asso...
