Association between impaired myocardial flow reserve, LV remodeling and cardiac mechanics. There is an increased likelihood of impaired MFR (<2) with worsening LV remodeling observed in the entire study cohort (panel A) and in patients with aortic sclerosis or stenosis (panel B). There is also a significant association between impaired hyperemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) and flow reserve (MFR) and abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS) (panels C and D, respectively). These findings suggest that coronary microcirculatory dysfunction is linked to subclinical mechanical systolic dysfunction and adverse remodeling in aortic stenosis.
