Abstract
Microvascular angina (MVA) is a complex syndrome characterized by angina symptoms and objective myocardial ischemia without obstructive coronary artery disease. This condition, often overlooked in the past, is gaining recognition due to advancements in coronary artery examination methods. MVA is associated with structural and functional abnormalities in myocardial coronary arteries with diameters less than 500 microns. This review explores the pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and Western medicine treatment options for MVA. A better understanding of MVA's underlying mechanisms and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches is essential for managing this condition
