P870Myocardial perfusion reserve index better estimates invasive coronary flow reserve when adjusted to hemodynamic changes

Invasive and non-invasive fractional flow reserve index in validation of hemodynamic severity of intracoronary lesions

This review discusses visual and functional evaluation of the hemodynamic significance of the degree of stenosis in coronary angiography, with respect to the indications for revascularization. The concept of the coronary flow reserve is defined, and the theoretical assumptions of the invasive measurement of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) are presented. In the following part, the publication ...

SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Reserve in Patients with Multivessel Coronary Disease: Correlation with Angiographic Findings and Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements.

UNLABELLED Quantification of myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) is an emerging topic in nuclear cardiology with an expected diagnostic and prognostic incremental value, especially for patients with severe coronary artery disease. The advent of new dedicated solid-state cameras has opened new perspectives for perfusion quantitation in SPECT. We appraised the feasibility of perfusion reserve esti...

Non-invasive assessment of coronary flow reserve in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: hemodynamic correlations.

BACKGROUND Impaired vasodilator myocardial blood flow response has been observed in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). However, the mechanisms responsible for this blunted response are not clear. In the present study, we investigated whether the blunted vasodilator flow response is related to indices of left ventricular performance in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND R...
