Elevated LVEDP was associated with higher Pzf, potentially affecting coronary flow; hypothesis-generating for reserve assessment in normal arteries.
Does left ventricular end-diastolic pressure affect the coronary pressure-flow relation in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries?
Elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is associated with increased coronary back flow pressure, potentially impairing maximal coronary flow and reserve.
