Impact of clinical and hemodynamic factors on coronary flow reserve and invasive coronary flow capacity in non-obstructed coronary arteries - A patient level pooled analysis of the DEBATE and ILIAS studies.

CONCLUSIONS: Age and female gender are associated with lower CFR, and age with worse CFC in an angiographically non-obstructed coronary artery. CFC seems to be less sensitive to variations in clinical and hemodynamic parameters than CFR, and therefore is a promising tool in contemporary clinical decision making in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
