Disturbed coronary hemodynamics in vessels with intermediate stenoses evaluated with fractional flow reserve: a combined analysis of epicardial and microcirculatory involvement in ischemic heart disease.

Circulation. 2013 Dec;128(24):2557-66, PMID: 24141255

In chronic ischemic heart disease, focal stenosis, diffuse atherosclerotic narrowings, and microcirculatory dysfunction (MCD) contribute to limit myocardial flow. The prevalence of these ischemic heart disease levels in fractional flow reserve (FFR) interrogated vessels remains largely unknown.
