| pubmed-article:12463093 | pubmed:abstractText | Fractional flow reserve and coronary flow reserve (CFR) are indices of the severity of coronary artery stenosis influenced by both epicardial and microcirculatory dysfunction. The CFR was measured using the new pressure guide wire with thermal sensor (dual sensor guide wire) on the basis of the thermodilution principle (CFR-thermo), and compared to the CFR as measured by the Doppler method (CFR-Doppler), and the relationships were evaluated between CFR-thermo, fractional flow reserve and stress myocardial scintigraphy. | lld:pubmed |
