BACKGROUND: Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) can, in principle, be derived by any method assessing coronary flow. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare CFR and MRR as derived by continuous (CFRcont and MRRcont ) and bolus thermodilution (CFRbolus and MRRbolus ). METHODS: A total of 175 patients with chest pain and nonobstructive coronary artery disease were studied. Bolus and continuous thermodilution measurements were performed in the left anterior descending coronary artery...
