Abstract
Patients with MVA can be characterized by microvascular glycocalyx dysfunction using sublingual microscopy. The strong correlation between sublingual PBR responsiveness and myocardial perfusion reserve suggests that the glycocalyx may play an important role in the regulation of microvascular volume for myocardial perfusion and supports the concept of impaired glycocalyx barrier properties in MVA.
