It’s so good to have beautiful open arteries! It’s great to have a good Ejection Fraction!
However, is that the whole picture? #ANOCA matters! #HFpEF matters!

#ANOCA causes chest pain when the coronary arteries are normal or not significantly blocked. It's a common condition that can be difficult to diagnose.

Symptoms can be chest pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and fatigue as well as referred pain.
