The need for a quantitative and operator-independent assessment of coronary
microvascular function is increasingly recognized. We propose the theoretical framework of …

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a highly prevalent condition of both structural and
functional coronary disorders in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary artery …

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an early feature of diabetic
cardiomyopathy, which usually precedes the onset of diastolic and systolic dysfunction …

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

Background Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) are
physiological parameters to assess coronary microvascular dysfunction. CFR and MRR can …

The critical role of the coronary microvascular compartment and its invasive functional
assessment has become apparent in light of the significant proportion of patients presenting …

Background Development of left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy in aortic stenosis (AS) is
accompanied by adaptive coronary flow regulation. We aimed to assess absolute coronary …

Background Microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) is a new index to assess coronary
microvascular (dys) function, which can be easily measured invasively using continuous …

Abstract Background and Objectives The translation of hemodynamic quantities based on
wall shear stress (WSS) or intravascular helical flow into clinical biomarkers of coronary …

Background The detrimental effects of long-standing severe aortic stenosis (AS) often
include left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and exhaustion of coronary flow reserve (CFR) …
