Study Design:
Randomized Controlled Trial
Risk of Bias Assessment Rating:
Low risk
Inclusion Criteria:
CMD defined as a coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) 26kg/m2; or BMI 25–26 and waist-hip-ratio >0.8.
Exclusion Criteria:
Severe renal failure(eGFR <30); hepatic comorbidity; chronic alcohol abuse; allergies to content of the low energy diet; atrial flutter or fibrillation at the time of stress-echocardiography; physical or mental disabilities contraindicating or hampering diet or exercise training.
Research Purpose:
We hypothesized that amelioration of risk factors for CMD would improve both angina and coronary microvascular function. We tested this hypothesis by randomizing symptomatic women with CMD and no obstructive epicardial disease to an intervention comprising weight loss, aerobic interval training (AIT), and optimal medical treatment of hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes versus usual care.
