Design and rationale of the NetherLands registry of invasive Coronary vasomotor Function Testing (NL-CFT)

C. Crooijmans et al.

Summary: Angina without angiographic evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is a prevalent condition with insufficient knowledge and evidence-based treatments. Performing a coronary function test (CFT) is recommended in current guidelines to identify specific vasomotor dysfunction. The NL-CFT registry aims to collect data on ANOCA patients undergoing CFT in the Netherlands.

Microvascular Resistance Reserve to Assess Microvascular Dysfunction in ANOCA Patients

Annemiek de Vos et al.

Summary: Microvascular resistance reserve (MRR), measured invasively using continuous thermodilution, is a new index for assessing coronary microvascular (dys)function. This study aimed to establish normal values for MRR and determine the optimal cutoff point. In patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease, MRR was found to be a suitable index for distinguishing the presence or absence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).

Reproducibility of bolus versus continuous thermodilution for assessment of coronary microvascular function in patients with ANOCA

Emanuele Gallinoro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the reproducibility of bolus and continuous thermodilution in assessing coronary microvascular function. The results showed that continuous thermodilution demonstrated significantly less variability on repeated measurements than bolus thermodilution, indicating its higher reliability in evaluating coronary microvascular function.

Coronary flow reserve and cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Mihir A. Kelshiker et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis aims to quantify the association between reduced coronary flow and all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The results show that abnormal coronary flow reserve (CFR) is associated with higher incidence of all-cause mortality and MACE. Each 0.1 unit reduction in CFR is associated with a proportional increase in mortality and MACE.

Comparison of Doppler Flow Velocity and Thermodilution Derived Indexes of Coronary Physiology

Ozan M. Demir et al.

Summary: Thermodilution-derived CFR overestimates Doppler-derived CFR, and they have a modest correlation. The commonly used thermodilution-based diagnostic threshold of 2.0 has poor sensitivity, but a threshold of 2.5 yields reasonable diagnostic accuracy. There is only a weak correlation between microvascular resistance indexes assessed by the two modalities.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility of a new method, continuous thermodilution, for measuring resting AF and CFR, and compared it with the traditional method. The results showed a good correlation and intraclass agreement between continuous thermodilution and traditional method in measuring CFR.

Assessing Microvascular Dysfunction in Angina With Unobstructed Coronary Arteries JACC Review Topic of the Week

Tijn P. J. Jansen et al.

Summary: Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a common condition in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary artery disease, and current diagnostic modalities have technical limitations. Intracoronary continuous thermodilution assessment of absolute coronary flow and microvascular resistance has been proven to be safe and feasible, and further exploration could lead to better understanding and treatment of patients with ANOCA. The review provides insight into the pathophysiology, diagnostics, and novel methods for microvascular dysfunction, and discusses the integration of these measurements into future clinical care.

Microvascular Resistance Reserve for Assessment of Coronary Microvascular Function JACC Technology Corner

Bernard De Bruyne et al.

Summary: This study proposes microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) as a specific index for assessing coronary microvascular function, independent of autoregulation and myocardial mass, based on absolute values of coronary flow and pressure. The research found a strong correlation between continuous thermodilution-derived MRR and Doppler MRR, suggesting MRR as a specific, quantitative, and operator-independent metric for quantifying coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Angina relates to coronary flow in women with ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease

Nissi Suppogu et al.

Summary: Among women with suspected ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease, high baseline average peak velocity (bAPV) level is associated with more severe angina frequency and poorer Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores, suggesting a specific pathophysiologic contribution to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).

Vasomotor dysfunction in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary artery disease is dominated by vasospasm*

Regina E. Konst et al.

Summary: This study found that coronary vasomotor dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary arteries, especially coronary spasm, while isolated impaired microvascular dilatation is rare. Patients with vasomotor dysfunction are more likely to have hypertension, while those with coronary spasm are more likely to have obesity and severity of angiographic atherosclerotic disease.

Interpretation of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire as an Outcome Measure in Clinical Trials and Clinical Care A Review

Merrill Thomas et al.

Summary: The Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) is widely used due to its established validity, reproducibility, prognostic importance, and sensitivity to clinical change. However, interpreting the SAQ can be challenging due to a lack of familiarity with the clinical importance of its domains, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

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.
