Abstract
The homogeneity of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) across different myocardial territories in angina with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) patients is scarcely explored. This study investigates the variability in microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) across the 3 main perfusion territories of the coronary circulation to investigate the
