Coronary microcirculatory vasodilator function in relation to risk factors among patients without obstructive coronary disease and low to intermediate Framingham score

Abstract

In patients without obstructive coronary disease, a higher FRS was an independent predictor of reduced CFR. The current study provides insight into the relation between cardiac risk profile and coronary microcirculatory function, and suggests that impaired microcirculatory vasodilator function may be present even in patients with a low to intermediate Framingham score.
