Suggests phenotype-specific coronary reserve evaluation in hypertrophy; leaves open whether vasodilator therapy alters outcomes in concentric disease.
This review highlights that coronary flow reserve varies by the type of hypertrophic heart disease and can be improved with long-term vasodilator therapy in hypertensive patients.
B.E. Strauer (2008) conducted a review in Hypertrophic heart disease. Coronary reserve is reduced in concentric cardiac hypertrophy, but remains similar to normal in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and aortic stenosis despite marked left ventricular hypertrophy.
