Summary
Speaker: Prof Javier Escaned, Consultant Cardiologist, Clinico San Carlos, Spain
Javier Escaned talks about the advantages of using coronary pressure based measurements in companions to coronary flow measurement.
Key learning points:
- All physiological techniques measure or are a surrogate for coronary flow
- Pressure is easier than flow to measure in routine clinical practice
- Most physiological techniques in routine practice focus on epicardial disease
- Understanding the microcirculation may be of additional value to understanding symptoms of chest pain
