Interrelationship Between Noninvasive Predictors of Atherosclerosis: Transthoracic Coronary Flow Reserve, Flow‐Mediated Dilation, Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness, Aortic Stiffness, Aortic Distensibility, Elastic Modulus, and Brachial Artery Diameter

Abstract

Transthoracic CFR correlated significantly with well-established noninvasive predictors of atherosclerosis, and we suggest that it can be used as a surrogate for coronary atherosclerosis.
