Abstract

Cardiovascular syndrome X defines patients with 
chest pain, positive stress test, typically ST segment 
depression and normal coronary arteries in 
angiography with possible extra cardiac causes of 
chest pain should be excluded. Several possible 
causes for small artery dysfunction that are thought 
to be present in microvascular angina including 
insulin resistance, inflammation and estrogen 
deficiency and different patients may have 
different causes.
