Approximately 40% of patients had coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD, coronary flow velocity reserve\u2009&lt;\u20092.3), with women exhibiting higher CMD prevalence. The left ventricular (LV) mass index was similar between men and women, while women exhibited higher baseline rate pressure products (RPP). At baseline, coronary blood flow velocities were similar between the sexes. However, CBF velocities in women gradually increased during the examination; and in men, the increase was abrupt and steep during the early stages of examination (p\u2009=\u20090.015 for interaction between time and sex), even with similar RPP in stress. Coronary flow velocity reserve was steadily lower in women compared to men (1\u00a0min, 2.09\u2009\u00b1\u20090.86 vs 2.44\u2009\u00b1\u20090.87; 2\u00a0min, 2.39\u2009\u00b1\u20090.72 vs 2.63\u2009\u00b1\u20090.85; 3\u00a0min, 2.45\u2009\u00b1\u20090.70 vs 2.68\u2009\u00b1\u20090.73).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In patients with suspected angina but with no obstructed coronary arteries, CMD was especially prevalent among women.
