Providing a broad view of multifactorial coronary flow impairment and offering practical insights for patient management, this book discusses current concepts of the pathophysiology of coronary circulation and methods for measuring coronary vasodilation, with a focus on noninvasive transthoracic doppler echocardiography. Coverage encompasses methods for noninvasive measurement of endothelium- independent coronary flow reserve, estimation of endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and clinical applications of measurement techniques.
