There is sinus bradycardia with one PVC. Nonobstructive coronary disease by coronary angiography should be differentiated between patients with normal coronary arteries and minimal luminal irregularities (less than 30% stenosis) and mild to moderate coronary atherosclerosis (30% to less than 50%). FFR can be useful.
