Background: Coronary vascular dysfunction (CVaD) contributes to ischemia even in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. We hypothesize that abnormal autonomic reactivity to mental stress is a key pathophysiologic mechanism in CVaD compared to non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) and reference...
