Background: Whether saline-induced hyperaemia captures exercise-induced coronary flow regulation remains unknown.
Aims: Through this study, we aimed to describe absolute coronary flow (Q) and microvascular resistance (Rμ) adaptation during exercise in participants with angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) and to explore the correlations between saline- and exercise-derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR).
Methods: Rμ, Q, CFR and MRR were assessed in the left anterior descending artery using continuous thermodilution with saline infusion at 10 mL/min (rest), 20 mL/min (hyperaemia) and finally at a 10 mL/min infusion rate during stress testing with a dedicated supine cycling ergometer.
