Table 2.
Approaches for the assessment of Endothelial dysfunction: Intracoronary Acetylcholine/Glyceryl Trinitrate (IC ACH/GTN) is given via the intracoronary route and vasomotion can be measured angiographically.
Invasive Approach | Non-Invasive Approach |
---|---|
Vasomotion following IC ACH/GTN Cold Pressor Testing |
Doppler ECHO Stress PET CMR Brachial Reactivity |
More Risk More Expensive |
Limited Availability Operator Dependence/Variability |
