You can easily imagine this patient getting one of several diagnoses -- vasospasm, MINOCA , pericarditis, or maybe even no diagnosis at all beyond "non-obstructive coronary artery disease."

Echocardiography – We can use ultrasound to visualize the heart and look at how well it pumps. The best way to know if there is plaque in the heart arteries is by a test called CTCA (CT coronary angiography). This is termed as diastolic dysfunction. So what tests tell us about the heart as a pump?
