Core Tip	Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) is one of the commonest causes of chest pain in outpatient clinics and yet is grossly underappreciated and undertreated. Despite the increasing awareness in cardiology community about CMD, there is still a huge lacuna in our approach to identifying and managing this entity. In this editorial, we review the most recent literature surrounding CMD and in particular we focus on its invasive assessment and diagnosis in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Further, we discuss how this knowledge will ultimately translate into clinical benefit for the patients and why knowledge about CMD is an absolute necessity in today’s world.
