Fractional Flow Reserve Derived from Computer Tomography in Asymptomatic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Albuminuria without Significant Coronary Artery Stenosis—A Surrogate for Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction?

Fractional Flow Reserve Derived from Computer Tomography in Asymptomatic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Albuminuria without Significant Coronary Artery Stenosis—A Surrogate for Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction?

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) patients with albuminuria have coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Fractional flow reserve assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (FFRct) is dependent on the structure and function of the microcirculation and is likely influenced by CMD....
