Types of microvascular disease (from [5]).

Type Description
1 Coronary microvascular dysfunction in the absence of obstructive CAD and myocardial diseases. The traditional cardiovascular risk factors of smoking, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus have been linked to this type.
2 Coronary microvascular dysfunction in the presence of myocardial diseases. This is thought to be due to adverse remodeling of intramural coronary arterioles.
3 Coronary microvascular dysfunction in the presence of obstructive CAD which may be in the context of stable CAD or acute coronary syndromes.
4 Iatrogenic coronary microvascular dysfunction. This includes vasoconstriction and distal embolization during procedures

where APVbaseline and APVhyperemia are the averaged peak velocity at rest and stress respectively.
