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

When acute myocardial injury is found in a clinical setting suggestive of myocardial
ischaemia, the event is labelled as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and the absence of …

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

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

The clinical value of fractional flow reserve and non-hyperaemic pressure ratios are well
established in determining an indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in …

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

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 …

Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare disease associated with
sudden cardiac death, usually related to physical effort in young people. Clinical routine …
