Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Acutely Improves Coronary Microcirculatory Function
Background Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) attenuates myocardial damage during elective and primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Recent studies suggest that coronary microcirculatory function is an important determinant of clinical outcome.

Fractional flow reserve and pressure-bounded coronary flow reserve to predict outcomes in coronary artery disease [PDF]
Abstract Aims Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has proven to its prognostic and therapeutic value. However, the additive prognostic value of coronary flow reserve (CFR) remains unclear. This study sought to investigate the clinical utility of combined FFR and CFR measurements to predict outcomes.

Abstract Objectives Investigate age‐related changes in coronary microvascular function, its effect on hyperemic and non‐hyperemic indices of stenosis relevance, and its prognostic implications. Background Evidence assessing the effect of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR), resting mean distal intracoronary pressure/mean aortic pressure (Pd/Pa), and ...

Coronary angiography of the ex‐situ beating donor heart in a portable organ care system
Abstract Objectives To determine safety and feasibility of ex‐situ coronary angiography. Background To cater for the perpetually growing demand for heart donors, interest in donation following circulatory death (DCD) has been rekindled. Further pursuit of donor pool expansion has led to eligibility extension to “marginal” donors who are at higher risk ...

Early Hyperdynamic Sepsis Alters Coronary Blood Flow Regulation in Porcine Fecal Peritonitis
Background: Sepsis is a common condition known to impair blood flow regulation and microcirculation, which can ultimately lead to organ dysfunction but such contribution of the coronary circulation remains to be clarified.
