Background: Coronary vasomotor dysfunction (CVDys) can be comprehensively classified on the basis of anatomy and functional mechanisms.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between different CVDys phenotypes and outcomes in patients with angina and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA).
Methods: Patients with ANOCA who underwent coronary reactivity testing using an intracoronary Doppler guidewire to assess microvascular and epicardial coronary endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent function were enrolled.

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is the leading cause of ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries disease (INOCA) disease. Diagnosis of CMD relies on surrogate physiological indices without objective proof of ischemia.
Objectives: Intracoronary electrocardiogram (icECG) derived hyperemic indices may accurately and objectively detect CMD and reversible ischemia in related territory.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is routinely used to evaluate coronary stenosis in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), although no studies currently address its reliability in this particular population. The clinical impact of correct assessment of coronary stenosis in AF is particularly high in light of the antithrombotic therapy imposed by both AF and coronary stenting.
Objectives: Given the hemodynamic variability and microvascular dysfunction described in AF, the aim of this study was to evaluate the hyperemic response to intracoronary adenosine in AF in comparison with sinus rhythm (SR).

The optimal strategy for assessing the ischemic significance of intermediate coronary stenoses with adenosine-induced fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is still debated. Few studies have previously assessed the impact of age on FFR and iFR, which was the aim of our study. Patients undergoing FFR and iFR evaluation for intermediate (40%-70%) coronary lesions were included and divided according to age.

Background: This study evaluated whether caffeine abstention is required before fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement by intravenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) administration in Japanese patients.
Methods: This study was a subanalysis of a previously published study and a total of 208 intermediate lesions that underwent FFR measurements were enrolled for this analysis. Hyperemia was induced by continuous intravenous ATP infusion at 150 μg/kg/min (IVATP150) and 210 μg/kg/min (IVATP210), and by intracoronary administration of nicorandil 2 mg (ICNIC2mg) as a reference standard.
