Decreased Coronary Flow Reserve in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Is Related to Remodeling of the Coronary Microcirculation

Abstract

Decrements in CRR were related to changes of the coronary microcirculation. Both the decrease in CRR and these changes in the coronary microcirculation were related to the degree of hypertrophy. All these factors might contribute to the well-known occurrence of ischemia in this patient group.
