This study explores the role of microcirculation in predicting and understanding cardiovascular events and conduit artery disease. It reveals that microvascular dysfunction often precedes and predicts the development of artery atherosclerosis and its risk factors. Even in cases with minimal coronary artery disease, impaired vasodilation is observed.

The study suggests that microvascular function serves as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease, sometimes even before angiographic evidence of atherosclerosis. Notably, women with angina syndromes and normal conduit arteries exhibit a higher degree of microvascular disease.

The dysfunction in microcirculation is associated with various diseases beyond cardiovascular conditions, including obstructive sleep apnea, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Genetic associations have also been identified, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets. While invasive methods are traditionally used to assess microcirculation, recent advancements in noninvasive techniques offer promising alternatives.

Direct assessment of microvascular function in vitro using human tissue samples provides valuable insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatments. Overall, the study underscores the significance of understanding microcirculation in predicting and managing cardiovascular events and diseases.
