Great chat thanks ladies. So with you on the Coronary Microvascular Disease issue for women and the lack of conversation and facts about it. I've been searching on dedicated heart health organisations here in Australia and there is very little on it. Even in women's heart health organisations. There is plenty on CAD but they don't drill down to CMD and go into it. Here's an example: https://herheart.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/HH_QA_CAD_2020.pdf Maybe there's just not enough research that's been done to date to give it the limelight it deserves. More likely it's that the testing involved to assess it is too costly and invasive at this stage so it's not routinely done. Certainly a topic for conversation with cardiologist! Thoughts? Anita xx
