Mayo Clinic doctors research issues relating to endothelial dysfunction and heart attack. The endothelium is the cell layer that separates the blood from the artery wall. Recent developments in research have shown that endothelial dysfuction causes chestpain and sometimes heart attack without the presence of plaque build up. It can cause arterial spasms (as well as other issues) that prevent blood flow to the heart.
