Interventional and Device-Based Approaches for Epicardial and Microvascular Dysfunction.

In 30 seconds

This systematic review examines device-based therapies for coronary dysfunction, particularly in patients with angina without obstructive coronary artery disease. The findings suggest that tailored interventions based on distinct endotypes may enhance symptom management and clinical outcomes.

Key findings

• Device-based strategies are proposed for treating angina without obstructive coronary artery disease.
• The review highlights the heterogeneity of underlying mechanisms in coronary dysfunction.
• Tailored approaches based on specific endotypes may improve symptom control.

Why it matters

Understanding the diverse endotypes of coronary dysfunction can guide clinicians in selecting appropriate device-based therapies, potentially leading to better patient outcomes and symptom relief.
