Hello

Mild microvasular disease may be indicated as ischemic changes( due to compromised blood supply).These are generally due to involvement of small blood vessels.
It is generally due to condiotions like hypertension,diabetes mellitus,altered lipid profile etc.
So,you may need clinical correlation and screening for these conditions.
This is not a very serious finding and it only need treatment of underlying cause.
It is seen more with aging.

Get well soon.
Take Care
