NCT01318629

Brief Summary

Many patients undergoing coronary angiography are found to have no significant coronary artery disease (CAD) despite angina equivalent symptoms and/or electrocardiographic abnormalities suggestive of myocardial ischemia. The aim of this study is to systematically assess patients with angina equivalent symptoms despite normal coronary angiograms and to evaluate their symptoms according to a defined algorithm.
