Ischemic symptoms may be explained by a multitude of coronary pathologies, including coronary artery tortuosity, atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, vasculitis, coronary vasospasm, or microvascular disease.

Multimodality imaging, coronary imaging, and coronary physiology helped establish the diagnosis and guide management.
