Prognostic Implications of Resistive Reserve Ratio in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Background Resistive reserve ratio is a thermodilution‐based index which integrates both coronary flow and pressure. Resistive reserve ratio represents the vasodilatory capacity of interrogated vessels including both epicardial coronary artery and ...

Prognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion echocardiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and normal left ventricular function. [PDF]
We sought to determine the prognostic value of qualitative and quantitative analysis obtained by real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).Quantification of myocardial blood ...

Effects of Intracoronary Alteplase on Microvascular Function in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background Impaired microcirculatory reperfusion worsens prognosis following acute ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. In the T‐TIME (A Trial of Low‐Dose Adjunctive Alteplase During Primary PCI) trial, microvascular obstruction on cardiovascular ...

Coronary flow reserve in stress-echo lab. From pathophysiologic toy to diagnostic tool
The assessment of coronary flow reserve by transthoracic echocardiography has recently been introduced into clinical practice with gratifying results for the diagnosis of left anterior descending artery disease simultaneously reported by several ...
