Inclusion criteria

* Female * Participants aged 18-70 years * Participants with typical stable angina but without coronary obstruction (defined as coronary occlusion less than (\<) 50%) by invasive coronary angiography or coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in recent three months * All other long acting cardiovascular disease medicines, including but not limited to aspirin/clopidogrel, calcium channel blockers (CCB), Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARB), beta-blockers, statins, ivabradine, trimetazidine, et al, should be stable taken for at least two weeks before screening period * For participants who met these four criteria above, MFR will be tested by stress PET. Participants whose MFR \<3.0 could be included in the study

Exclusion criteria

* Severe or uncontrolled hypertension (resting Systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] \>=160 millimeter of mercury (mmHg), or resting Diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\] \>=100mmHg at screening period) * Participants with shock (including cardiogenic shock), or hypovolemia * Severe hypotension (resting SBP\<90mmHg,or resting DBP\<60mmHg) * Significant valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy * Congestive heart failure(New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] III-IV), echocardiographic ejection fraction\<45% * Acute pulmonary edema; * Hepatic or renal dysfunction, defined as: * Serum Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) \> triple of the normal value upper limit; * Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) \> triple of the normal value upper limit * Serum creatinine \> twice of the normal value upper limit * Glaucoma * Active peptic ulcer or active skin ulcer * Taking glyburide, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator(s) * Known to be hypersensitivity to nicorandil, nitrates, niacin, or any of the excipient * With contraindication to complete stress PET test * No legal ability and legal ability is limited * Participants unlikely to cooperate in the study or with inability or unwillingness to give informed consent * Child-bearing period women without effective contraceptive measures, pregnancy and lactation * Participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days * Other significant disease that in the Investigator's opinion would exclude the participant from the trial

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve (MFR) by Stress Positron Emission Tomography (PET) at Week 12

Myocardial blood flow reserve is a measure of endothelial function measured by positron emission tomography.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 12

Population: The study was terminated early and due to the lack of approval of data exportation from the Office of Human Genetic Resource Administration (OHGRA) China, the data could not be extracted. Therefore, no data available for the analyses.

Secondary

Change From Baseline in Cardiac Diastolic Function: Early [E] to Late [A] Ventricular Filling Velocities (E/A) Ratio at Week 12

Echocardiography was used to measure E/A ratio.
