Up to 40% of patients evaluated for angina/ischemia have non-obstructive coronary arteries, referred to as ANOCA when angina is the presenting symptom and INOCA when objective ischemia is documented. The 2024 ESC Chronic...
The foramen ovale is a physiological structure in the fetal circulation that allows blood to pass from the right atrium to the left atrium, bypassing the pulmonary circulation. After birth, the foramen ovale usually clos...
