The association of coronary lumen volume to left ventricle mass ratio with myocardial blood flow and fractional flow reserve

A diminished coronary lumen volume to left ventricle mass ratio (V/M) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has been proposed as factor contributing to impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) even in the absence of obstructive disease on invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
