Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the effect of ticagrelor 90mg bd on angina frequency in patients with Coronary Slow Flow who experience angina at least 3 times/week.<br><br>Patients will maintain an angina diary throughout this study period. This diary will describe the frequency and characteristics of chest pain (i.e. the time of day, severity, triggers, etc.). In addition, we will administer Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) at screening and at the end of each phases. [Before the administration of any drug : For 2 weeks using the angina diary and SAQ<br>Medication phase 1 : For 4 weeks using the angina diary<br>At the end of Phase 1: SAQ<br>Washout period : For 2 weeks using the angina diary<br>Medication phase 2 (cross over) : For 4 weeks using the angina diary<br>At the end of Phase 2: SAQ<br><br><br>]
