Myocardial Capillaries and Coronary Flow Reserve
The general assumption among cardiologists is that myocardial ischemia occurs only in the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease. This is based on the misconception that abnormal coronary flow reserve (CFR) is associated only with coronary stenosis and results from the increased ...

Cost-effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with stable coronary artery disease and abnormal fractional flow reserve [PDF]
BACKGROUND The Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation (FAME) 2 trial demonstrated a significant reduction in subsequent coronary revascularization among patients with stable angina and at least 1 coronary lesion with a ...

The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is 30–68%. Nevertheless, there is still not enough evidence to use invasive assessment of lesion severity, because the hemodynamic milieu of AS may impact the ...

Coronary flow reserve was assessed in a patient with Anderson-Fabry disease complicated by symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. Coronary flow reserve was measurable in all three major coronary arteries providing an opportunity to compare regional ...

Background: Moderate coronary artery lesions can be, or not, responsible for myocardial ischemia. The functional analysis of these lesions can be performed by invasive and noninvasive methods.

The tight coupling between myocardial oxygen demand and supply has been recognized for decades, but it remains controversial whether this coupling persists under asynchronous activation, such as during left bundle branch block (LBBB).

Native Coronary Collateral Microcirculation Reserve in Rat Hearts
Background We occasionally noticed that native collateral blood flow showed a recessive trend in the early stages of acute myocardial infarction in rats, which greatly interferes with the accurate assessment of native collateral circulation levels. Here,

Caffeine Decreases Exercise-Induced Myocardial Flow Reserve
We studied the acute effect of caffeine on myocardial blood flow (MBF) at rest and exercise in healthy volunteers at normoxia and during acute exposure to simulated altitude.Caffeine is a widely consumed stimulant, although its cardiovascular safety remains controversial and its effect on MBF is unknown.15O-labeled H2O and positron emission tomography (
