A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is coronary microvascular disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small vessel: The big coronary vessels divide and subdivide to form micro vessels which supply the muscles of the heart. Diseases like diabetes can cause atherosclerosis of those tiny vessels where our catheters and wires don't go and we can't balloon or stent it. Usually if you have micro vascular disease we just treat with medications which can help in dilating them.
