Coronary flow reserve by CT perfusion [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2010 Cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) is one of the most impressive advances in the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in the last decade. Going beyond coronary calcium scoring, cardiovascular CT is capable of identifying calcified and non-calcified plaque, percent stenosis, cardiac structure and morphology, and left ventricular ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Coronary flow capacity (CFC), which is a categorical assessment based on the combination of hyperemic coronary flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR), has been introduced as a comprehensive assessment of the coronary circulation to overcome the ...

Effects of Atorvastatin on Coronary Flow Reserve in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 2007 AbstractBackgroundStatins improve endothelial functioning in patients with coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia, while substantially little is known about induced changes in myocardial microcirculation. However, although previous studies have suggested that microvascular abnormalities and endothelial dysfunction is responsible for slow ...

Bimodal Pattern of Coronary Microvascular Involvement in Diabetes Mellitus
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundThe contribution of functionally disturbed coronary autoregulation and structurally impaired microvascular vasodilatory function to reduced coronary flow velocity reserve, reflecting impaired coronary microcirculation in diabetes mellitus (DM),

Modern scintigraphic methods for assessing myocardial blood flow and reserve
Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2021 Background. Today, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is an informative and accessible method for evaluating ischemic changes in the heart. However, this method has limitations, which are more connected with a semiquantitative assessment of the study ...

AT1 receptors: coronary flow and flow reserve [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2000 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 ...

FFR post-PCI: what we learned from the FFR-SEARCH study
REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2021 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE AFTER STENTING? The introduction of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the mid 90s moved coronary physiology from experimental science to routine use at the cath lab.1-3 Added to the better ...

Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve and Survival
JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 Almost 40 years ago, K. Lance Gould proposed the concept of coronary flow reserve (CFR) to quantify the effect of epicardial narrowings on myocardial blood flow ([1][1]). CFR represents the extent to which hyperemic coronary flow can increase above resting flow.
