Volumetric blood flow (Q) determination requires simultaneous assessment of mean blood flow velocity and vessel cross-sectional area. At present, no method provides both values. Intracoronary Doppler-based assessment of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) relies on average peak velocity (APV). Because this does not account for changes in velocity profile or vessel area usually occurring with flow-dependent vasodilation, results can be misleading. The aim of this clinical study was to validate against the current gold standard (measurement of myocardial perfusion reserve [MPR] by PET) a new, Doppler-based method for calculating coronary Q and coronary flow reserve (CFR).
