  • Discordant changes in epicardial and microvascular coronary physiology after cardiac transplantation: Physiologic Investigation for Transplant Arteriopathy II (PITA II) study.

    Fearon WF, Hirohata A, Nakamura M, Luikart H, Lee DP, Vagelos RH, Hunt SA, Valantine HA, Fitzgerald PJ, Yock PG, Yeung AC. J Heart Lung Transplant. 2006; 25 (7): 765-71

    Investigating changes in coronary physiology that occur after cardiac transplantation has been challenging. Simultaneous and independent assessment of the epicardial artery by measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) and of the microvasculature by calculating the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) with a single coronary pressure wire may be useful.
