Autologous CD34+ Stem Cell Therapy Increases Coronary Flow Reserve and Reduces Angina in Patients With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction. [PDF]
Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction results in angina and adverse outcomes in patients with evidence of ischemia and nonobstructive coronary artery disease; however, no specific therapy exists.

The Concept of Coronary Flow Reserve
Coronary reserve has been defined as the ratio of coronary resistance under control (rest) conditions and of coronary resistance after maximal coronary vasodilation. The latter can be achieved by various interventions, the most important and clinically relevant example being intravenous administration of dipyridamole at 0.5 mg/kg of body weight.

Continuous Versus Bolus Thermodilution‐Derived Coronary Flow Reserve and Microvascular Resistance Reserve and Their Association With Angina and Quality of Life in Patients With Angina and Nonobstructive Coronaries: A Head‐to‐Head Comparison [PDF]
Background Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) are physiological parameters to assess coronary microvascular dysfunction. CFR and MRR can be assessed using bolus or continuous thermodilution, and the correlation between

AT1 receptors: coronary flow and flow reserve [PDF]
Angiotensin II, through its effects at the angiotensin-type 1 receptor, elevates arterial pressure and exacerbates hypertensive heart disease. Alterations in coronary hemodynamics, including reductions in coronary blood flow and flow reserve promotes coronary insufficiency and contributes to the increased cardiovascular risk associated with these ...
