Coronary Flow Reserve Measurement by Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography
Introduction Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is defined as a ratio of maximal (stimulated) to baseline (resting) coronary blood flow. CFR evaluation is important for the understanding of the pathophysiology of coronary circulation. CFR measurement is used both to assess epicardial coronary stenoses and to examine the integrity of microvascular circulation. An appreciation of coronary physiology is ...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of significant left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis by coronary flow velocity reserve with transthoracic color Doppler echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Coronary flow reserve has been considered an important diagnostic index of the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis. With Doppler technique, it has been assessed as the ratio of hyperemic to basal coronary flow velocity (coronary flow velocity reserve [CFVR]) by invasive or semiinvasive methods with a Doppler catheter, a Doppler guide wire, and a transesophageal Dopple...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary flow reserve by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in left apical ballooning syndrome.
We present the time course of transthoracic coronary flow reserve in the left anterior descending artery in a patient who suffered a transient left apical ballooning syndrome.
متن کاملReduced coronary flow reserve in Anderson-Fabry disease measured by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography
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 coronary flow reserve from different vascular beds. In this patient all the three vascular beds supplied diffusely hypertrophied myocardium. Corona...
متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Can coronary flow velocity reserve determined by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography predict the recovery of regional left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Objective: To determine whether the early assessment of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) can predict myocardial viability after revascularisation in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: 29 patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction who were successfully treated by coronary angioplasty were studied. TTDE was used to rec...
