文摘The left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is the main vessel of human coronary circulation, and life-threa- tening consequences are seen when flow in this area is im- paired, Noninvasive measurement of coronary flow re- serve (CFR), defined as the ratio of maximal to baseline coronary blood flow, has been repeatedly shown to be a feasible technique by ultrasound transthoracic Doppler (TTD) both in the LAD and, with some limitations, in the posterior descending (PD) coronary artery.
