Background: Microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) is a recently introduced specific index of coronary microcirculation. MRR calculation can utilize parameters deriving from coronary flow reserve (CFR) assessment, provided that intracoronary pressure data are also available. The previously proposed pressure-bounded CFR (CFRpb) defines the possible CFR interval on the basis of resting and hyperemic pressure gradients in the epicardial vessel, however, its correlation to the Doppler wire measurement was reported to be rather poor without the correction for hydrostatic pressure.

Background: Coronary flow reserve (CFR) has an emerging role to predict outcome in patients with and without flow-limiting stenoses. However, the role of its surrogate pressure bounded-CFR (Pb-CFR) is controversial. We investigated the usefulness of combined use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and Pb-CFR to predict outcomes.

Coronary flow reserve (CFR) represents entire coronary compensatory capacity. While CFR assessment is recommended to identify patients at an increased risk of cardiovascular events and coronary microvascular dysfunction, invasive CFR measurement is often technically challenging. Although not well validated yet, pressure-bounded CFR (pbCFR) has been proposed as a simple surrogate to estimate impaired CFR.
