It can be difficult to estimate the degree of stenosis in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD), because of the lack of a normal reference segment. If the size of normal coronary lumen has a direct relation to size of distal myocardial bed, it could be used to estimate the 'normal' cross-sectional area of coronary lumen. Accordingly, we could estimate the degree of stenosis of coronary arteries with diffuse disease by comparing them with calculated 'normal' areas of lumen.
