Among the most common causes of death worldwide, ischemic heart disease (IHD) is
recognized to rank first. Even if atherosclerotic disease of the epicardial arteries is known as …

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a highly prevalent condition in both obstructive and
nonobstructive coronary artery disease. Intracoronary thermodilution is a promising …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic
implications of angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) in …

Background: A bolus thermodilution-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) has
emerged as the standard for assessing coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) …

Immediate assessment of coronary microcirculation during treatment of ST elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI) may facilitate patient stratification for targeted treatment …

To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of (1) hyperaemic angiography-derived index of
microcirculatory resistance (IMRangio) in defining coronary microvascular dysfunction …

Background Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has
been and remained a puzzling heterogeneous entity. The index of microcirculatory …
