Invasive Assessment of Coronary Microcirculation: A State-of-the-Art Review
A significant proportion of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia have no “significant” epicardial disease; thereby, the assessment of coronary microcirculation gained an important role in improving diagnosis and guiding ...

Effects of atherosclerosis on the coronary microcirculation
We tested the hypothesis that atherosclerosis potentiates coronary vasoconstriction to serotonin and ergonovine. Coronary microvascular pressures and diameters were measured in the beating left ventricle in normal and atherosclerotic cynomolgus monkeys.

The Impact of Thrombo‐inflammation on the Cerebral Microcirculation [PDF]
Copyright © 2021 The Authors. The intertwined processes of thrombosis and inflammation (termed “thrombo-inflammation”) are significant drivers of cerebrovascular diseases, and as such, they represent prime targets for drug discovery programs focusing on ...

Invasive coronary physiology in patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary artery disease: a consensus document from the coronary microvascular dysfunction workstream of the British Heart Foundation/National Institute for Health Research Partnership [PDF]
Nearly half of all patients with angina have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA); this is an umbrella term comprising heterogeneous vascular disorders, each with disparate pathophysiology and prognosis.

The coronary microcirculation in sepsis: not of micro-importance [PDF]
[No abstract - showing first paragraph]The coronary arterial system consists of a continuous network of functionally distinct vessels of decreasing size. The epicardial arteries (>500 μm) have primarily a conductance function and, therefore, physiologically offer minimal resistance to flow.

Vitamin C and Coronary Microcirculation [PDF]
To the Editor: In their study on the short-term effects of vitamin C on coronary microcirculation, Kaufmann et al1 used adenosine to increase myocardial blood flow, which was assessed by positron emission tomography. When compared with controls, smokers showed an attenuated response that was corrected by 3 g of vitamin C given intravenously over 10 ...
