Merdler I, Wallace R, Banerjee A, Medranda G, Reddy P, Cellamare M, et al.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv . 2024 Mar; 103(5):703-709. PMID: 38520176
Background: Full adoption of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) assessment faces challenges due to its invasive nature and concerns about prolonged procedure time and increased contrast and/or radiation exposure. We compared...
