The role of revascularization in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease is well established, and its impact on improving survival has been proven. Nevertheless, patients with signs and symptoms considered of cardiac origin but with no obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiography are increasingly seen. Initially described as a ‘paradox’ or cardiac syndrome X and subsequently defined as microvascular angina, angina-like chest pain and evidence of ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease, is the consequence of altered coronary microvascular response to various stimuli despite non-obstructed epicardial vessels.
