She came in as a new patient. She was about sixty years old, well-dressed, and fit. She was a nurse and she had had a heart attack about a month before. She was doing pretty well, but she was puzzled by her heart artery catheterization results a couple of weeks later that were completely normal. She had no blockages at all. She had not had a stent during the heart attack. “How could I have a heart attack with no artery blockages”
Well, she could easily be exposed to small coronary artery disease invisible on an angiogram. Lifestyle optimization must be part of her treatment plan, since medical therapies often fail with patients living suboptimal lifestyle.
Yup, it is the most misdiagnosed condition in both men and women. Currently, Multifunction Cardiogram Technology Diagnostic Platform is the ONLY way to early detect the disease and enable measurable primary lifestyle optimization and secondary optimal pharmaceutical interventions to deter, and reverse it to save lives at much lower costs!
The imaging after my stroke showed no blockages, and I wonder if I had a situation similar to this woman. Cholesterol that was evenly distributed along the arteries.
That is probably right. Clotting strokes can be due to local clot or one that comes from the heart in a patient with heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Go to the link at the end of this comment. Scroll past the references and there is a picture that shows multiple cuts from an artery in the heart. You can see there are cholesterol deposits along the entire vessel. If there are cholesterol deposits in any artery there are probably cholesterol deposits everywhere.
This doctor and many healthcare professionals are working to restore the promise of American healthcare. Let's light a candle rather than cursing the darkness.

Your are right. Microvascular disease is a big problem in women.
