Abstract
BACKGROUND: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); however, pathophysiology is not well described. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that CMD in women with suspected ischemia with no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) is associated with cardiomyocyte dysfunction reflected by plasma levels of a cardiomyocyte calcium handling protein, cardiac bridge integrator 1 (cBIN1). METHODS: Women with suspected INOCA undergoing coronary function testing were included. Coronary flow reserve, vasodilation to nitroglycerin, change in coronary blood flow (ΔCBF), and vasodilation to acetylcholine (ΔAch) were evaluated. cBIN1 score (CS) levels in these women (n = 39) were compared to women with HFpEF (n = 20), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (n = 36), and reference controls (RC) (n = 50). Higher CS indicates cardiomyocyte tubule dysfunction. RESULTS: INOCA, HFpEF, and HFrEF women were older than RC (p < .05). Higher CS was associated with vasoconstriction to acetylcholine (r = -0.43, p = .011) with a trend towards lower ΔCBF (r = 0.30, p = .086). Higher CS was specific for ΔAch and ΔCBF but had limited sensitivity. INOCA women had higher CS than RC, but lower CS than HFpEF/HFrEF groups (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: CS, a plasma biomarker indicating poor cardiomyocyte health, was higher in women with suspected INOCA as compared to RC, but lower than in women with HFpEF. Elevated CS in suspected INOCA patients represents an intermediate group between health and disease, supporting the hypothesis that CMD may progress to HFpEF. Larger prospective cohort studies are needed to confirm the pathophysiological relationship between cBIN1, CMD, and HFpEF.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
