Just had an Angio to be told there is no reason for my Angina pain. I had a stent 10 years ago, double CABG 6 years ago. I am on 60mg isorbide once a day 500mg Ranolazine twice a day, Statins,Clopidogrel,bisoprol and Losartin.The Angio showed two partial blocks on 45% and one 75 to 95% but normal flow apparently also 100%stenosis LAD that i assume the Bypass is dealing with. Feel confused,depressed and a little stupid but know what pains i get and that rest or GTN clears it. Now awaiting a Cardiac stress MRI.Until then furter increase in nitrates.

Hello,

You can have angina without blocked coronary arteries, ANOCA, angina non obstructive coronary arteries, caused my microvascular dysfunction or coronary vasospasms.

A cardiac stress MRI can help diagnose microvascular dysfunction, otherwise a specialised angiogram, when the blood vessels are tested to see if function properly can be carried out.

This patient's story from the BHF website may help.
