Summary
Some women have chest pain even without having a blockage in one of the major blood vessels that supplies blood to the heart. In many of these women the microscopic (small) blood vessels in the heart do not function normally. This study seeks to determine if treatment with eplerenone, a commercially available diuretic, can improve the function of these microscopic blood vessels and, possibly, improve the chest pain.
