ABSTRACT

Introduction. A substantial number of patients, who are going to coronariography, does not have atherosclerotic injuries in their coronary tree. The sub -group with anginous pain and positive stres s test includes itself in the diagnosis of microvascular angina. Methods. A descriptive transversal study was made, in patients studied in the CIMEQ homodynamic lab, between 2010 and 2011, with initial diagnosis of effort angina and positive stress test. T he universe was constituted by the 1452 patients submissive coronariography in this period. The sample was 452 in which injuries of coronary atherosclerosis were not demonstrated. Results. 31.1% of the patients submissive coronariography diagnostic of microvascular angina with greater prevalence of feminine sex. The arterial hypertension was the risk factor more prevalent in the evaluation time. Conclusions. The microvascular angina is a frequent disease in our means that are related to the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
