Sex differences of sequential changes in coronary blood flow and microvascular function in patients with suspected angina

ConclusionsIn patients with suspected angina but with no obstructed coronary arteries, CMD was especially prevalent among women. Women exhibited higher oxygen consumption, while exhibiting slower and gradual increases in CBF velocities. Conversely, men exhibited faster and steeper increases in CBF velocities even with similar RPP in stress.Graphical abstract
