PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN CORONARY AND BRACHIAL ARTERIES, AND COMMON RISK FACTORS IN DEVELOPMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH MICROVASCULAR ANGINA

Aim. To study prognostical significance of vasomotor disorder of coronary and brachial arteries, and traditional risk factors in development of cardiovascular complications in patients with microvascular angina (MVA) and cardial syndrome X; a retrospective 12-year observation.Material and methods. Totally, 41 patient included, with MVA (40 females/1 male), mean age at the moment of inclusion 43±4,1 y.o., 15% smokers). Endotheliumdependent vasodilation (EDV) of coronary arteries was assessed via intracoronary acetylcholine load, EDV of brachial artery — via high-resolution ultrasound in active hyperemia test.Results. It was found that in brachial EDV
