Diffuse coronary atherosclerosis without focal stenosis causes resistance to flow that contributes to myocardial ischemia, which has consequences for decision-making during percutaneous coronary interventions.
Diffuse coronary atherosclerosis without focal stenosis at angiography causes a graded, continuous pressure fall along arterial length. This resistance to flow contributes to myocardial ischemia and has consequences for decision-making during percutaneous coronary interventions.
