Piek Murat Sezer Microcirculation ABSTRACTBackgroundVariations in resting pulsatile coronary flow velocity acceleration/deceleration characteristics (dU/dt) with respect to epicardial lesions and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) remain incompletely understood.MethodThe coronary dU/dt pattern was extracted from the first derivative of the intracoronary Doppler velocity signal. Univariable and multivariable models evaluated the relationships between the dU/dt amplitudes, epicardial disease as well as CMD, defined by a blunted coronary flow reserve (CFR) adjusted for the concomitant epicardial disease severity (fractional flow reserve, FFR) yielding the microvascular resistance reserve (MRR). Functional CMD was defined by a blunted MRR (≤ 3.0) but normal hyperemic microvascular resistance (hMR < 2.5) whereas structural CMD was defined by a blunted MRR (≤ 3.0) combined with increased hMR (≥ 2.5). Six major acceleration or deceleration peaks were identified in each cardiac cycle; these were a (amplitude of peak diastolic acceleration), b (amplitude of early diastolic deceleration nadir), c (amplitude of peak diastolic re‐acceleration), j (amplitude of end‐diastolic deceleration nadir), x (amplitude of peak systolic acceleration), and z (amplitude of end‐systolic deceleration nadir) waves.ResultsFunctional CMD was associated with amplification of a (β = 55.944, 95% CI [21.112, 90.777], p = 0.002) and × (β = 44.069, 95% CI [20.182, 67.955], p < 0.001), b (β = −34.019, 95% CI [−50.865, −17.173], p < 0.001), j (β = −48.723, 95% CI [−71.272, −26.174], p < 0.001), and z (β = −31.047, 95% CI [−53.596, −8.498], p = 0.007) waves. Structural CMD was associated with blunted a (β = −76.938, 95% CI [−113.125, −40.751], p < 0.001) and j (β = 24.787, 95% CI [1.361, 48.213], p = 0.039).ConclusionEpicardial disease severity is minimally associated with alterations in the resting dU/dt pattern, whereas CMD endotypes are associated with distinctively altered intrabeat pulsatility characteristics.
