Is it possible to have heart disease and yet appear to have healthy coronary arteries? The surprising answer is a resounding "yes." Up until about a decade ago, patients with cardiovascular disease symptoms, but with no evidence of blockages in their larger coronary arteries, posed a medical mystery for doctors. Thanks to advances in diagnostic tools, researchers discovered the problem with these patients occurred not because of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the larger coronary arteries, but rather in the smaller coronary arteries. "Coronary microvascular disease" or "coronary MVD" was born.
