May support transthoracic Doppler echocardiography as a cost-effective alternative to PET for coronary microvascular dysfunction; leaves open prospective outcome validation across cardiomyopathies.
Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography provides a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to PET for assessing coronary microvascular dysfunction and its prognostic implications across various cardiomyopathies.
Dimitrow et al. (2005) conducted a review in Coronary microcirculation impairment. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography vs. Positron emission tomography (PET) / Invasive coronary angiography was evaluated on Coronary flow reserve (CFR). Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography provides a non-invasive, accessible, and reliable method for assessing coronary flow reserve to document coronary microcirculation impairment.
