Regional myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Impact of myectomy [PDF]
ObjectiveChest pain is a common finding in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and can be observed in 40% to 50% of all patients. However, the pathogenesis of these ischemia-like symptoms is still unclear.MethodsTwenty-two patients with ...

Effects of Atorvastatin on Coronary Flow Reserve in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow [PDF]
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 ...

Magnetic Resonance Perfusion or Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Disease.
BACKGROUND In patients with stable angina, two strategies are often used to guide revascularization: one involves myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the other involves invasive angiography and measurement of ...

Long-term reproducibility of coronary flow velocity measurements in patients with coronary artery disease [PDF]
In conclusion, flow velocity measurements repeated after a 6-month interval show a variability, which is larger for baseline velocity and coronary flow reserve.

Coronary flow reserve assessment
We would like to add some comments to an interesting paper of Voci et al. 1 Apart from the anterior and posterior descending coronary artery, it is possible to visualize transthoracically proximal and middle segments of the circumflex coronary artery and all three segments of the right coronary artery.2–5 The images other than from the apical windows ...

Abnormal Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve Observed in Cardiac Amyloidosis [PDF]
We performed real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography on a patient with cardiac amyloidosis and previous normal coronary angiography presenting with atypical chest pain to assess myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR).
