Coronary microvascular disease (MVD) can cause chest pain and fatigue. Emory Heart & Vascular experts offer the latest treatment options, including:
- Lifestyle changes: Your doctor may suggest diet changes, exercise, stress management or quitting smoking.
- Medications: Your doctor may prescribe medications to control chest pain and improve blood flow to the heart. Common medicines for MVD include nitroglycerin, calcium channel blockers and beta blockers.
- Procedures: Sometimes, doctors recommend angioplasty and stent placement to treat MVD.
