Association Between Elevated Pulse Pressure and High Resting Coronary Blood Flow Velocity in Patients With Angiographically Normal Epicardial Coronary Arteries

Association Between Elevated Pulse Pressure and High Resting Coronary Blood Flow Velocity in Patients With Angiographically Normal Epicardial Coronary Arteries

BackgroundThe aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship of pulse pressure (PP), a raw index of arterial stiffness, with noninvasively determined coronary flow reserve (CFR) and its components, in patients with angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries. Methods and ResultsThe study...
