Official Title: The Effects of Statin and Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitor on Coronary Flow Reserve, indEx of Microcirculatory Resistance, and Symptoms in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (
Brief Summary: An emerging cause of heart attack in young women is a dissection (or tear) in the coronary arteries. Many of these young women continue to have chest pain long after the tear has healed and this is thought to be due to problems with their small blood vessels of the heart (or microcirculation). We want to determine whether commonly used medications for coronary artery disease including statins (for cholesterol) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (for blood pressure) reduce chest pain and improve small vessel function in these patients.
