The Working Group on "Coronary Pathophysiology and Microcirculation" promotes clinical and basic cardiovascular research in microcirculation and coronary pathophysiology.
We aim to advance an integrative understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of coronary vessels and terminal vascular beds.
We also support classical microcirculation research as well as investigations of the coronary vascular biology in health and disease.
Finally, we address prevention and improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
The Working Group disseminates reliable information related to these fields through its annual conference, by preparing sessions for the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, and by publishing review articles.
Scientists from various disciplines who share a common interest in this field are welcome to join our Working Group.
