Summary

This study looks at how mental stress impacts the heart and blood vessels in postmenopausal women with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), a condition where the heart's tiny arteries don't work properly, causing chest pain. Researchers will compare stress responses in women with CMD to those without it, using heart scans, stress tests, and home monitoring. The goal is to better understand the link between stress and heart health, not to test a new treatment.
