This article presents modern views on the pathophysiological mechanisms of angina symptoms in patients without severe hemodynamically significant stenosis in the coronary arteries. An algorithm of invasive diagnostic tests is presented, which help to determine the endotypes of INOCA, which further plays an important role in order to prescribe optimal drug therapy that improves quality of life in this category of patients.
