The coronary angiography giving the morphological data of epicardiac coronary stenoses and non-invasive tests sometimes even together are insufficient for evaluating the functional consequences of the ...

Background— Thermodilution coronary flow reserve (CFRthermo) is a new technique for invasively measuring coronary flow reserve (CFR) with a coronary pressure wire and is based on the ability of the p ...

BACKGROUND: Coronary slow flow (CSF) by invasive coronary angiography is frequently understood to be an indicator of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ischemia with ...

From the Institute of Cardiology, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy. Background—We tested the hypothesis that blood flow velocity could be recorded in the left anterior descending coronary ...

Dissection of a Coronary (Guide or Wire) No Wire Across Lesion: A Six-Step Checklist? Presenter: Kambis Mashayekhi. July 15, 2023. REGISTER for free or LOG IN to view this content. Coronary.

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) has a substantial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases. Multiple risk factors, including smoking, hyperlipiadaemia and diabetes, can ...

Coronary Flow Reserve. CFR can be invasively assessed with two techniques: 1) flow velocity using a Doppler wire, and 2) thermodilution using a pressure-temperature sensor guidewire. In the Doppler ...

Doppler wire–derived coronary flow reserve has been applied in research studies, but its clinical role has been limited by the technical issues. IMR is a quantitative method for specifically assessing ...

Coronary dissection in the proximal LAD was successfully created in all eight animals. The induction method and results of the dissection for each animal are summarized in Figure 2. The wire-injury ...
