An increase in minimum microvascular resistance (MR) (as shown for Stenosis C) reduces hyperemic flow, which decreases the pressure gradient across the stenosis, thus increasing fractional flow reserve (FFR). This would be expected to occur with microvascular dysfunction. There is an opposite effect on coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR). The dashed lines indicate clinically applicable cut-off values [48].
