Regional myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Impact of myectomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
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]

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Magnetic Resonance Perfusion or Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Disease.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2019
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 ...

Coronary flow velocity reserve in three major coronary arteries by transthoracic echocardiography for the functional assessment of coronary artery disease: a comparison with fractional flow reserve.

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging, 2014
AIMS Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) measurement in three major coronary arteries by transthoracic echocardiography is a promising and non-invasive method for detecting myocardial ischaemia. Its value when compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR)

Long-term reproducibility of coronary flow velocity measurements in patients with coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
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

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2005
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 ...

Robust Association Between Changes in Coronary Flow Capacity Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Vessel-Oriented Outcomes and the Implication for Clinical Practice

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundCoronary flow capacity (CFC) is a potentially important physiologic marker of ischemia for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) indication, while the changes through PCI have not been investigated.ObjectivesTo assess the ...

Abnormal Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve Observed in Cardiac Amyloidosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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).
