Association of Aortic Stiffness and Wave Reflections with Coronary Flow Reserve in Women without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: An Ancillary Study from the NHLBI-Sponsored Womens Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation (WISE)

摘要

BackgroundIncreased aortic stiffness and reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR) independently predict adverse outcomes. But information about relationships between arterial properties and CFR in subjects without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited.
