One limitation of the study, the ACTION study group notes, is that the MRR was measured by bolus thermodilution, which, "has shown poor reproducibility and tends to overestimate MRR and coronary flow ...

Results, taken from coronary physiology assessments with bolus thermodilution, showed that at three-month follow-up, 56 patients (26.7%) had CMD, defined as an MRR <3.0. Median MRR of the entire group ...

Coronary microvascular dysfunction has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events following acute myocardial infarction. This study evaluates the role of the angiography‐derived index of ...

13, 15 In CMDR, the microvasculature is assessed invasively using the Pressure X physiology wire (Abbott Laboratories) using bolus thermodilution assessment to derive a coronary flow reserve and index ...

Introduction: Due to functional alterations of blood platelets and coagulation enzymes at low temperatures, excessive bleeding is a well-recognized complication in victims of accidental hypothermia ...
