Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a group of disorders with heterogenous pathophysiology. At present there are no methods to pinpoint the underlying structural and functional disorder in a given patient. Identification of exact pathophysiology is necessary to tailor correct diagnostic approach and therapeutic modality
