Why the study?
Does guidewire-based pressure-temperature measurement accurately assess true myocardial resistance in an in vitro coronary circulation model?
Does guidewire-based pressure-temperature measurement accurately assess true myocardial resistance in an in vitro coronary circulation model?
Guidewire-based measurement of the index of myocardial resistance (IMR) correlates excellently with true myocardial resistance in vitro, independent of epicardial stenosis severity.
