Zero-flow pressure substantially exceeds atrial pressure in coronary beds; leaves open its impact on human flow assessment and requires clinical validation.
Zero-flow pressure is a quantitatively important determinant of coronary driving pressure and flow, resulting from factors both related to and independent of vasomotor tone.
Klocke et al. (1981) studied this question.
