Abstract:Background
A novel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based method was proposed for the measurement of intracoronary mean flow rate (Q) and absolute microvascular resistance (AMR) by combining coronary angiography and routine fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of the proposed method to assess the presence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).

Patients without hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis or those after a successf… Show more
