Efficacy of Medical Therapy in Women and Men With Angina and Myocardial Bridging

Summary

The proposed clinical trial is relevant to public health because it is expected to expand the differential diagnosis and provide an evidence--based therapy for the large population of patients with angina in the absence of obstructive CAD who currently remain undiagnosed and untreated. It, therefore, upholds an important part of the mission of the The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), which is to promote the treatment of heart disease and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives.
