While coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been increasingly recognized as an important pathophysiological mechanism underlying chest pain, the association between CMD in angina with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) and CCTA-derived ECV remains to be elucidated. We sought to evaluate the association between CCTA-derived ECV and CMD in patients with ANOCA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed 57 patients with ANOCA from a single center who underwent CCTA on ECV protocol with subtraction method (including precontrast and 7-minute delayed postcontrast) and invasive functional testing using pressure-temperature sensor-tipped wire. Patients with significant epicardial stenosis (fractional flow reserve \u22640.80 or stenosis on computed tomography \u226550%), prior history of revascularization, known myocardial infarction, or heart failure were excluded. CMD was defined as a coronary flow reserve of &lt;2.5 in any of the vessels evaluated. Standard transthoracic echocardiography assessed diastolic dysfunction (DD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 57 patients included, 26 (45.6%) were diagnosed with CMD. CMD was significantly associated with age, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) level, calcium score, DD, and higher ECV. In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, a CCTA-derived ECV &gt;31.9% (the optimal cutoff value derived from receiver operating characteristic curve analysis) was independently associated with CMD (odds ratio, 10.50 [95% CI, 2.34\u201347.40];\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =0.002).
