Clinical Implications of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients with CKD

Year: 2022

Type: editorial

Abstract: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) encompasses the range of structural and functional changes in the coronary microvasculature that cause diminished coronary blood flow and consequently myocardial ischemia.1 CMD may be the result of impaired vasodilatory capacity or increased coronary microvascular vasoconstriction. Structural impairments accompanying CMD are predominantly characterized by intramural arteriole and capillary luminal narrowing, perivascular fibrosis, and microvascular rarefaction, often associated with left ventricular muscle hypertrophy.
