2.18 INOCA, SCAD, Cocaine Cardiotoxicity

In this episode, we explore ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). How is the diagnosis of microvascular angina (MVA) and vasospastic angina (VSA) made? What cutoffs in the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are used to diagnose MVA and VSA? Which medication for treating MVA will worsen VSA? What factors increase risk of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)? What is the consequence of cocaine's blockade of sodium channels and potassium channels? Tune in for answers to these questions.
