May indicate microvascular dysfunction warranting evaluation; leaves open targeted therapies pending prospective trials.
Coronary slow flow phenomenon is a clinically significant entity related to microvascular resistance, warranting further research into targeted vasodilator therapies and proteomics.
Finley et al. (2012) conducted a review in Coronary slow flow phenomenon. Coronary slow flow phenomenon is observed in up to 7% of diagnostic coronary angiograms and is associated with increased coronary microvascular arterial resistance.
