Slow coronary flow may be a sign o diffuse atherosclerosis

Structured PICO

Is slow coronary flow associated with decreased FFR and diffuse atherosclerosis on IVUS?

P

Population

Patients with slow coronary flow (SCF)

I

Intervention

Measurement of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)

O

Outcome

FFR levels and presence of diffuse atherosclerotic disease on IVUSsurrogate

Slow coronary flow is associated with decreased FFR and diffuse atherosclerosis on IVUS, suggesting it reflects epicardial resistance rather than isolated microvascular dysfunction.

Abstract

We have demonstrated the decreased FFR in the patients with SCF. Decreased FFR levels have been attributed to increased resistance in the epicardial coronary arteries due to diffuse atherosclerotic disease which has been demonstrated by IVUS.
