The coronary microvasculature cannot be directly imagedin vivo, but parameters that depend directly on coronary microvascular function are routinely assessed by a number of invasive and noninvasive procedures. In this Review, Camici and colleagues explore available imaging techniques that allow novel insights into the pathophysiological role of coronary microvascular dysfunction.
