Summary

Delve into the complexities of coronary microcirculation and its clinical implications. This session highlighted advanced diagnostic techniques such as bolus and continuous thermodilution, the interpretation of microvascular resistance reserve, and practical guidance on establishing a high-impact ANOCA clinic to manage microvascular angina and coronary dysfunction.

Learning Objectives

  • To gain insight into the challenges posed by the coronary microcirculation
