Coronary Microcirculation Downstream Non‐Infarct‐Related Arteries in the Subacute Phase of Myocardial Infarction: Implications for Physiology‐Guided Revascularization

Coronary Microcirculation Downstream Non‐Infarct‐Related Arteries in the Subacute Phase of Myocardial Infarction: Implications for Physiology‐Guided Revascularization

Background Concerns exist about reliability of pressure‐wire‐guided coronary revascularization of non‐infarct‐related arteries (non‐IRA). We investigated whether physiological assessment of non‐IRA during the subacute phase of myocardial infarction might be flawed by microcirculatory dysfunction. Me...
