The following questions can help you start a conversation with your physician about coronary microvascular disease. Take these questions with you to your appointment, write down additional questions that you have, and take notes on your physician’s responses.

• I have been having chest pain during routine activities. Could it be heart disease?
• Do I have risk factors for heart disease?
• Would I benefit from a stress test?
• Would I benefit from an angiogram or other imaging test?
• My stress test showed a problem, but my angiogram did not show any blockages. Could I have microvascular disease?
• What can we do to treat my microvascular disease?
• Are there lifestyle changes that I should be making for my heart health?
• Are there medications that can reduce my risk of a cardiovascular event such as a heart attack?

 Remember, if you experience sudden chest pain or other heart attack symptoms, call 911 for emergency help.
