In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) is highly prevalent, impairing quality of life and independently associated with cardiovascular events, yet effective treatments are lacking. The endothelin-1 (ET-1)-endothelin receptor (ETR) system is pivotal in ANOCA pathogenesis. Preclinical studies show that ETR blockade or pericyte-specific knockout of ETA receptor improves coronary microcirculatory function in models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and diabetes. Clinical evidence indicates ETR antagonists can enhance microvascular endothelial function and myocardial perfusion in ANOCA patients. However, prior studies diagnosed ANOCA based only on symptoms and angiography without precise microvascular functional assessment. Early ETR antagonists also showed frequent adverse effects (e.g., edema, headache), reducing treatment satisfaction. To address this, the investigators wil
