Cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of coronary flow reserve improves risk stratification in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been proposed as a novel mechanism for the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Recent studies have suggested the potential utility of coronary flow reserve (CFR) as a marker of CMD in patient...
