The assessment of coronary flow reserve by transthoracic echocardiography has recently
been introduced into clinical practice with gratifying results for the diagnosis of left anterior …

Transthoracic Doppler echocardiographic-derived coronary flow reserve is an useful
hemodynamic index to assess dysfunction of coronary microcirculation. Isolated coronary …

Standards for echocardiographic laboratories were proposed by the European Association
of Echocardiography (now the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging) 7 years …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine clinical and echocardiographic
correlates of acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality in a large cohort …

Objectives: The aim of this prospective, multicenter, observational study was to compare the
prognostic value of Doppler echocardiographic-derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) in …

In patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries and chest pain, pharmacologic
stress echocardiography can identify a subgroup of patients with a less benign prognosis …

Aims Coronary flow-reserve (CFR) can be impaired in non-ischaemic dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM), unmasking a coronary microcirculatory dysfunction of potential …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the ability of coronary flow reserve (CFR)
over regional wall motion to predict mortality in patients with known or suspected coronary …

Vasodilator stress echocardiography allows semi-simultaneous imaging of left anterior
descending (LAD) coronary flow and regional wall function. To assess the relative (and …
