Aim: Exertional angina in patients with no coronary flow limiting lesions remains a clinical puzzle. We aimed to assess the extent of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and its relationship to ventricular wall motion function using stress echocardiography in a group of patients limited by exertional angina, but no obstructive lesions. Methods: We compared CT coronary calcium score (CACS) and dobutamine stress echocardiography in 55 patients (age 64.7 ± 7.7 years), divided into Group 1 (CACS ≤ 100) and Group 2 (CACS > 100). No patient had LV ejection fraction-EF |
