    Abstract Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction can be responsible for both stable angina and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). There are scarce data, however, about comparisons of clinical characteristics and outcomes of these 2 groups of patients.
    Materials and methods: We studied 47 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for angina syndromes and showed no obstructive stenosis. Patients were divided in 2 groups, according to their clinical presentation, i.e., stable angina (
    Results: Clinical characteristics and exercise test results of the 2 groups were largely similar. Ach testing induced epicardial or microvascular spasm in 6 (50.0%) and 10 (58.8%) stable and NSTE-ACS patients, respectively (
    Conclusion: Clinical characteristics and exercise and Ach testing results are similar in angina patients with no-obstructive coronary artery disease with a stable or NSTE-ACS presentation. Stable patients show a worse symptomatic outcome irrespective of Ach test results.

    Abstract Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) may cause symptoms of myocardial ischemia (microvascular angina [MVA]), but recent studies suggested that it might also contribute to the syndrome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In this study we assessed the relation of CMD with findings of HFpEF in MVA patients.
    Methods: We enrolled 36 consecutive patients with MVA, in whom we assessed: 1) coronary blood flow (CBF) response to adenosine and cold pressor test (CPT) by color-Doppler echocardiography of the left anterior descending coronary artery; 2) complete echocardiographic examination; 3) N-terminal-pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP); 4) grade of dyspnea by the modified Medical Research Scale.
    Results: Among patients, 15 had definite HFpEF findings (group 1), 12 had equivocal HFpEF findings (group 2) and 9 had no evidence of HFpEF findings (group 3). Group 1 patients were older, had more cardiovascular risk factors and higher NT-proBNP levels (P=0.018), and showed a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction. Left ventricle dimensions and systolic function, however, did not differ among groups. Dyspnea was also not significantly different among groups (P=0.19). CBF to adenosine was 1.85±0.47, 1.78±0.40 1.49±0.32 in group 1, 2 and 3, respectively (P=0.13). Similarly, CBF response to CPT was 1.57±0.4, 1.49±0.2 and 1.45±0.3 in the 3 groups, respectively (P=0.74). Both CBF response to adenosine and CPT showed no relation with the severity of dyspnea symptoms.
    Conclusions: Our data suggest that in patients with MVA there is no relation between the grade of impairment of coronary microvascular dilatation and findings of HFpEF.

    Abstract Background: A sizeable number of patients with a diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome show non-obstructive coronary artery disease. In this study we assessed whether differences in vascular and cardiac autonomic function exist between non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients with obstructive or non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
    Methods and results: Systemic endothelium-dependent and independent vascular dilator function (assessed by flow-mediated dilation and nitrate-mediated dilation of the brachial artery, respectively) and cardiac autonomic function (assessed by time-domain and frequency-domain heart rate variability parameters) were assessed on admission in 120 patients with a diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Patients were divided into two groups according to coronary angiography findings: (a) 59 (49.2%) with obstructive coronary artery disease (≥50% stenosis in any epicardial arteries); (b) 61 (50.8%) with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. No significant differences between the two groups were found in both flow-mediated dilation (5.03 ± 2.6 vs. 5.40 ± 2.5%, respectively;
    Conclusions: Among patients admitted with a diagnosis of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome we found no significant differences in systemic vascular dilator function and cardiac autonomic function between those with obstructive coronary artery disease and those with non-obstructive coronary artery disease.

    Abstract Background and aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Aim of this study was to investigate whether endothelial and/or autonomic dysfunction are associated with LV diastolic dysfunction in DM patients.
    Methods: We studied 84 non-insulin-dependent type 2 DM (T2DM) patients with no heart disease by assessing: 1) LV diastolic function by echocardiography; 2) peripheral vasodilator function, by measuring flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrate-mediate dilation (NMD); 3) heart rate variability (HRV) on 24-h Holter electrocardiographic monitoring.
    Results: Twenty-five patients (29.8%) had normal LV diastolic function, while 47 (55.9%) and 12 (14.3%) showed a mild and moderate/severe diastolic dysfunction, respectively. FMD in these 3 groups was 5.25 ± 2.0, 4.95 ± 1.6 and 4.43 ± 1.8% (p = 0.42), whereas NMD was 10.8 ± 2.3, 8.98 ± 3.0 and 8.82 ± 3.2%, respectively (p = 0.02). HRV variables did not differ among groups. However, the triangular index tended to be lower in patients with moderate/severe diastolic dysfunction (p = 0.09) and a significant correlation was found between the E/e' ratio and both the triangular index (r = -0.26; p = 0.022) and LF amplitude (r = -0.29; p = 0.011).
    Conclusions: In T2DM patients an impairment of endothelium-independent, but not endothelium-dependent, dilatation seems associated with LV diastolic dysfunction. The possible role of cardiac autonomic dysfunction in diastolic dysfunction deserves investigation in larger populations of patients.

    Abstract Background: A sizeable proportion of patients with primary stable microvascular angina (MVA; exercise-induced angina, positive exercise stress test [EST], normal coronary arteries) have recurrent symptoms during follow-up. There have been no previous studies, however, on the long-term results of EST and their correlation with symptom outcome.Methods and Results:Follow-up EST was performed in 71 MVA patients at an average of 16.2 years (range, 5-25 years) from the first EST. Angina status was assessed on weekly frequency of angina episodes and nitroglycerin consumption and by whether symptoms had worsened, improved, or remained unchanged over time. At follow-up EST, 41 patients (group 1) had exercise-induced ischemia, whereas 30 patients (group 2) had negative EST. Compared to group 2, group 1 patients more frequently had exercise-induced dyspnea, and had a greater maximum ST-segment depression and a lower coronary blood flow response to adenosine and cold pressor test, but group 2 patients had a more frequent history of rest angina. No differences between the 2 groups were found at follow-up in angina status or change in symptom status during follow-up.
    Conclusions: Electrocardiogram results improve significantly in a sizeable proportion of patients with MVA. Changes in EST results, however, were not associated with clinical outcome.

    Abstract "Early repolarization" (ER) is a frequent finding at standard electrocardiogram (ECG). In this study we assessed whether ER is associated with an increased risk of events, as recently suggested by some studies. We prospectively enrolled 4,176 consecutive subjects without any heart disease who underwent routine ECG recording. ER was diagnosed in case of typical concave ST-segment elevation ≥0.1 mV; a J wave was diagnosed when the QRS showed a notch or a slur in its terminal part. In this study we compared the 6-year outcome of all 687 subjects with ER/J wave and 687 matched subjects without ER/J wave (controls). Both groups included 335 males and 352 females, and age was 48.8 ± 18 years. Overall, 145 deaths occurred (11%), only 11 of which attributed to cardiac causes. No sudden death was reported. Cardiac deaths occurred in 5 (0.8%) and 6 (0.9%) ER/J wave subjects and controls, respectively (odds ratio [OR] 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26 to 2.80, p = 0.79). Both ER (OR 1.68, 95% CI 0.21 to 13.3, p = 0.62) and J wave (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.28 to 3.00, p = 0.88) showed no association with cardiac death. Total mortality was 11.5% in the ER/J wave group and 10.6% in the control group (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.56, p = 0.58). Both ER (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.16 to 1.24, p = 0.12) and J wave (OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.70, p = 0.30) showed also no association with all-cause death. In subjects without any evidence of heart disease, we found no significant association of ER/J wave with the risk of cardiac, as well as all-cause, death at medium-term follow-up.
