Diagnosing coronary microvascular dysfunction remains challenging, primarily due to the
lack of direct measurements of absolute coronary blood flow (Q) and microvascular …

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a heterogeneous
group of clinical entities characterized by clinical evidence of acute myocardial infarction …

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

In this EACVI clinical scientific update, we will explore the current use of multi-modality

BACKGROUND: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is involved in heart failure (HF)
onset and progression, independently of HF phenotype and obstructive coronary artery …

Background Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) can,
in principle, be derived by any method assessing coronary flow. Objectives The aim of this …

We aimed to develop a large animal model of subcoronary aortic stenosis (AS) to study
intracoronary and microcirculatory hemodynamics. A total of three surgical techniques …
