Very small coronary artery involvement whcih cause your 'angina' by going into spasm. You're on appropriate nitrates; perhaps consider the addition of Diltiazem, indicated in your type of "Prinzmetal" angina.

Most of the information known about coronary MVD comes from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's WISE study (Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation). The WISE study began in 1996. Its goal was to learn more about how heart disease develops in women. The role of hormones in heart disease has been studied, as well as how to improve the diagnosis of coronary MVD. Further studies are under way to learn more about the disease, how to treat it, and its outcomes. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/cmd/cmd_whatis.html

I am on Ranexa rather than Imdur, and a nitro spray as needed. Imdur lowered my blood pressure excessively. I stay stringently on a low fat diet, with lots of anti-oxidant foods, and rarely have any angina. I warm up slowly for exercise, and can now go an hour at an HR of 140 after warmup. Two of my three majors are 100% blocked with very long blockages, and I have over a dozen other 80% blockages, including the 3rd main artery. Have you done cardiac rehab of any kind
