Components of Coronary Reactivity Testing In Evaluation of Coronary Vascular Function

Macrovascular Function Microvascular Function

Endothelial dependent Abnormal vasoreactivity to intracoronary Acetylcholine (ACH) Reduced coronary blood flow (CBF) in response to intracoronary Acetylcholine

Non-endothelial dependent Abnormal vasoreactivity to intracoronary Nitroglycerin (ACH) Reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR) in response to intracoronary Adenosine
