Why the study?
Does flow associated dilatation (FAD%) or intimal media thickness better predict coronary artery disease in patients with suspected CAD?
Does flow associated dilatation (FAD%) or intimal media thickness better predict coronary artery disease in patients with suspected CAD?
In patients with suspected CAD, FAD% discriminates the presence of disease, while intimal media thickness correlates with disease extent.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
FAD% may discriminate CAD presence and IMT its extent in suspected cases; leaves open incremental diagnostic value over standard measures.
Enderle et al. (1998) studied this question.
