Abstract

Background

Nonobstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD), characterized by the presence of myocardial ischemic symptoms and signs without obstructive coronaries, is a common clinical condition, but it is less well understood. Few studies have analyzed the gender differences in inducible myocardial ischemia assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in NOCAD.

Methods

We conducted a study of 289 NOCAD patients (mean age 60, 56% women) with ischemic symptoms and confirmed ⫹50% coronaries stenoses by coronary angiography who underwent symptom-limited CPET. We assessed ischemic response using predicted % peak VO₂, O₂ pulse trajectory, and exercise ECG test.

Results

Men with NOCAD had significantly lower predicted % peak VO₂ (62% vs. 73%), higher proportions of flattening pattern (16% vs. 2%), and downward patterns of O₂ pulse trajectory (2% vs. 0%) (p < .0001) compared with women. In contrast, women with NOCAD had a higher prevalence of shallow patterns of O₂ pulse trajectory (21% vs. 6%, p < .0001). Men with NOCAD had a higher risk ischemic profile (medium risk: 63% vs. 54%, high risk: 18% vs. 4%, p < .0001). After adjustment, men with NOCAD had significantly lower predicted % peak VO₂ (β −27.4, 95% CI −30.74 to −24.07), higher risk for abnormal O₂ pulse trajectories (OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.93 to 9.19), and myocardial ischemia risk per CPET parameters (OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.78 to 5.54) (p < .0001).

Conclusion

Men with NOCAD had a higher risk profile for ischemic heart disease per CPET. Therefore, they should receive rigorous management and follow-up to prevent cardiovascular events.

通过心肺运动测试发现，患有非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病的男性患缺血性心脏病的比例更高

非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病（NOCAD）的特征是存在心肌缺血症状和体征，但没有阻塞性冠状动脉，这是一种常见的临床病症，但人们对它的了解较少。很少有研究分析了通过心肺运动测试（CPET）评估非阻塞性冠心病诱发性心肌缺血的性别差异。

期刊介绍： The journal features original contributions that are the result of investigations contributing significant new information relating to the vascular and lymphatic microcirculation addressed at the intact animal, organ, cellular, or molecular level. Papers describe applications of the methods of physiology, biophysics, bioengineering, genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to problems in microcirculation. Microcirculation also publishes state-of-the-art reviews that address frontier areas or new advances in technology in the fields of microcirculatory disease and function. Specific areas of interest include: Angiogenesis, growth and remodeling; Transport and exchange of gasses and solutes; Rheology and biorheology; Endothelial cell biology and metabolism; Interactions between endothelium, smooth muscle, parenchymal cells, leukocytes and platelets; Regulation of vasomotor tone; and Microvascular structures, imaging and morphometry. Papers also describe innovations in experimental techniques and instrumentation for studying all aspects of microcirculatory structure and function.
