Introduction: Chronic coronary syndrome is predominantly related to the atherosclerotic obstruction of the coronary artery or arteries. However, this phenomenon is not the only causative factor in this disease. It is usually forgotten, that there is a possibility of ischemia of the cardiac muscle with no obstruction found in the main vessel. The trigger of such pathology might be underlying in the microcirculatory system and the inappropriate dilation or constriction of those small vessels, which results in insufficient blood supply to the cardiomyocytes, similarly to the typical obstructive coronary artery disease. In this article we are willing to show that such dysfunction poses a great danger to the health and life and therefore we should be able to properly diagnose and treat it. Purpose of the work: The aim of this review of up-to-date literature is to raise awareness among both doctors and patients about the phenomenon of coronary artery disease but with no significant obstruction in the vessels supplying the cardiac muscle. The common cause of such condition is coronary microvascular dysfunction, that leads to a disease called microvascular angina. Our purpose was to reveal, how dangerous to the health of the patients this could be and therefore how essential it is to provide a proper diagnose and management. In addition, we have noticed a need for a summary of what has already been discovered on this topic, available therapeutic methods and future perspectives.

“…6 Furthermore, women have distinct hemodynamic properties of the myocardial circulation. 7 Episodes of acute exacerbation of COPD can be triggered or complicated by other comorbidities, such as heart disease. The clinical setting of CVD in COPD patients thus requires broad investigations, while considering the abovementioned sex-specific aspects in both organs and appreciating limitations of dimensionless ratio-based metrics such as EF.…”

“…For example, ventricular size is smaller in women, implying a higher ejection fraction (EF) and different energetic characteristics 6 . Furthermore, women have distinct hemodynamic properties of the myocardial circulation 7 . Episodes of acute exacerbation of COPD can be triggered or complicated by other comorbidities, such as heart disease.…”
