摘要

Coronary microvascular disease is a key factor in the pathogenesis of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the occurrence of HFpEF in INOCA patients remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HFpEF in INOCA patients.We prospectively enrolled consecutive INOCA patients who underwent comprehensive coronary function assessments and transthoracic echocardiography. HFpEF was diagnosed according to European Society of Cardiology criteria. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05313919). We prospectively enrolled consecutive INOCA patients who underwent comprehensive coronary function assessments and transthoracic echocardiography.
