Combining perfusion and angiography with a low-dose cardiac CT technique: a preliminary investigation in a swine model

Logan Hubbard et al.

Summary: The study evaluated a low-dose cardiac CT technique that combines morphological and physiological assessment of coronary artery disease. Through experiments on pigs, the technique successfully measured blood flow perfusion and coronary flow reserve. The results of this technique showed a high correlation with the reference technique.

Thermodilution-derived volumetric resting coronary blood flow measurement in humans

Emanuele Gallinoro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate if continuous coronary thermodilution using lower infusion rates allows for volumetric coronary blood flow measurements at rest. Results showed that saline infusion at 10 mL/min did not change Pd/Pa or APV, while infusion at 20 mL/min induced changes. Thermodilution could quantify absolute resting coronary blood flow and calculate coronary flow reserve and microvascular resistance reserve.

Normal values of thermodilution-derived absolute coronary blood flow and microvascular resistance in humans

Stephane Fournier et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess normal reference values of coronary hyperemic blood flow and resistance, finding that hyperemic flow was significantly higher in controls compared to patients in different coronary arteries. However, when considering vessel-specific myocardial mass, hyperemic flow was similar in the three vascular territories.
