	The clinical value of coronary flow reserve measurement in ischemic heart disease Tamás Forster Download this document as a .PDF file.

	By Pulsed Doppler the flow in the LAD can be measured. A smaller systolic and a larger diastolic wave can be detect- ed. Norm. diastolic flow velocity: < 60 cm/s.


	There is a tendency for having lower CFR values with increasing severity of LAD disease (not significant).
	Grades of aortic atherosclerosis.
	In case of any atherosclerosis, CFR values decreased significantly.
	The way to calculate elastic and Young´s modulus. BP - blood pressure DD - diameter of the descending aorta D - difference between diastolic and systolic diameters h - thickness of the aortic wall
	Elastic modulus and Young´s modulus significantly increased in case of lower CFR values.

	In case of significant aortic stenosis and LAD disease, the CFR is markedly and similarly decreased.

	At normal cholesterol level with or without lipid-lowering therapy, the CFR is in the normal range. At increased cholesterol level (no matter to therapy), CFR is significantly lower.
