Primary outcomes were change in CFVR and change in angina symptoms measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)
We included 33 non-diabetic overweight women (BMI > 25) with CMD (Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) ≤2.5), angina symptoms and no obstructive CAD, in an open-label proof-of-concept study.
The protocol included a control period of 5 weeks followed by an intervention period with liraglutide aiming at 3 mg daily for 12 weeks.
