Adverse cardiovascular long-term outcome
Microvascular dysfunction, assessed by coronary flow reserve, independently predicts long-term adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with normal or mildly diseased coronary arteries.
Abstract
Coronary flow reserve in normal to mildly diseased arteries is an independent predictor of long-term prognosis of atherosclerosis within the next decade.
