• #1 Small Vessel Disease

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6768982/

  Small vessel disease (SVD) refers to conditions where damage to arterioles and capillaries is predominant, leading to reduced, or interrupted perfusion of the affected organ. […] The factors that lead to this devastating condition include all the known vascular risk factors when they are not strictly controlled, but lifestyles that include sedentary existence, obesity, and poor sleep patterns are also recognized drivers of SVD. […] This article emphasizes the need for more investigations to define this link further and suggests clinical and societal responses that might reduce the major impacts of this condition on populations. […] The patient with SVD keeps many subspecialists occupied. He or she sees the neurologist for failing memory function and for other consequences of lacunar infarcts, the ophthalmologist for failing vision, the nephrologist for failing kidney function, the cardiologist for heart failure, and the family physician and geriatrician for control of vascular risk factors.

• #6 Microvascular Disease and Small-Vessel Disease: The Nexus of Multiple Diseases of Women

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7307673/

  Microvascular disease, or small-vessel disease, is a multisystem disorder with a common pathophysiological basis that differentially affects various organs in some patients.

  Microvascular angina is an under-researched area, partly because no definite universal definition was available before the COVADIS definition and partly because cardiologists are mainly interested in the large coronary arteries but not the smaller vessels that are also part of the coronary circulation. […] Currently, many doctors are not aware of the importance of coronary microvascular dysfunction. As a result, many patients with MVA are misdiagnosed as having postmenopausal disorders or an imbalance of conscious and unconscious nervous system, for instance. […] The researchers say that the management and treatment of MVA represents a major unmet need and more research is needed. Patients are usually treated with drugs to prevent blood clotting, such as statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or drugs to dilate blood vessels such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitrates.

  Ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) refers to myocardial ischemia with stable or unstable anginal symptoms in the setting of normal or nonobstructive coronary arteries. […] Patients with INOCA are often misdiagnosed as having symptoms of noncardiac origin, as traditional stress tests have low sensitivity for diagnosing CMD and diagnosis of vasospasm often requires acetylcholine provocation. […] Furthermore, stratified medical therapy based on diagnosis of microvascular and/or vasospastic angina has demonstrated improved angina and quality of life in patients with INOCA. […] The diagnosis of these INOCA endotypes should be considered in patients with anginal symptoms. […] Patients with small vessel ischemia and angina can pose both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to cardiologists. […] With consideration of small vessel ischemia and angina now included within ACC/AHA evidence-based guidelines, improving quality of care to reduce adverse cardiac event risk and enhance quality of life for patients is critical.
