Coronary microvascular dysfunction as a chronic inflammatory state: Is there a role for omega-3 fatty acid treatment?
Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a ubiquitous pathologic process that is operational in ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular disorders including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It may, in fact, be a manifestation of a multi-systemic condi...

description | Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a ubiquitous pathologic process that is operational in ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular disorders including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It may, in fact, be a manifestation of a multi-systemic condition of small vessel dysfunction that also affects the brain and kidneys. While the pathophysiology driving coronary microvascular dysfunction is multifactorial, chronic inflammation plays an important role. Resolution of inflammation is an active process mediated, in part, by a family of locally active mediators biosynthesized from omega-3 fatty acids, collectively referred to as specialized pro-resolving mediators. Omega-3 fatty acid treatment modulates inflammation and is associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes and attenuation of plaque progression on cardiovascular imaging. Whether omega-3 fatty acid treatment attenuates coronary microvascular dysfunction is unknown. |
