INOCA/ANOCA: technical aspects

Moderators: D. Perera, A. Galassi

Summary

This session covers technical aspects critical to the evaluation and management of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) and angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). Key topics include the impact of guide catheter shape, injection techniques for thermodilution measurements, advanced perfusion CMR diagnostics, and the physiological interplay between epicardial and microvascular resistances.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Impact of guide catheter shape on quality and variability of bolus thermodilution measurements
  • Automatic vs. manual bolus injection for thermodilution assessing coronary microvascular disease
  • Quantitative perfusion CMR to diagnose CMD: comparison with bolus and continuous thermodilution
  • The effect of sublingual nitroglycerin on absolute coronary blood flow
  • The influence of epicardial stenosis resistances and microvascular resistances on FFR
