Multiparametric analysis of coronary flow in psoriasis using a coronary flow reserve companion. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundCoronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is usually evaluated measuring coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). A more comprehensive analysis of CFVR including additional consideration of the associated logical companion‐CFVR, where hyperemic diastolic coronary flow velocity may act as surrogate, was applied in this study to elucidate ...

Normalization of coronary flow reserve by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty [PDF]
Fifteen patients undergoing routine follow-up angiography 5 months after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) without angina and with normal exercise thallium scintigraphy were selected for analysis. The coronary flow reserves

Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided PCI as Compared with Coronary Bypass Surgery.
BACKGROUND Patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease have been found to have better outcomes with coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) than with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but studies in which PCI is guided by measurement of ...
