Background Myocardial blood flow during pharmacological vasodilatation is depressed in
patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy even the in absence of overt heart failure; …

Background Impaired vasodilator myocardial blood flow response has been observed in
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). However, the mechanisms responsible for this blunted …

The relationship between altered coronary circulation and left ventricular (LV) function in
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains unclear. We used the Doppler guidewire and …

Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is impaired in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Mechanisms by which such impairment occurs are still unknown, but cofactors such as …

BACKGROUND: Coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD)
can be reduced in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The aim of this study was to …

Background Myocardial blood flow (MBF) impairment has been documented in advanced
dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in which hemodynamic factors, secondary to severe …

BACKGROUND: Coronary and microvascular blood flow reserve have been established as
important predictors of prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this …

1. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, abnormal myocardial blood flow may contribute to
poor myocardial function. 2. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible contribution …

Background—Depressed myocardial blood flow (MBF) has been reported in dilated
cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MBF impairment is an …

Aims Coronary flow-reserve (CFR) can be impaired in non-ischaemic dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM), unmasking a coronary microcirculatory dysfunction of potential …
