TIMI Frame Count and Coronary Function in Women With Suspected Ischemia and Nonobstructed Coronary Arteries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Data have been inconsistent regarding the association between TIMI frame count (TFC) and coronary function, with data suggesting that the TFC measured after pharmacological stress could correlate better with coronary physiology.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation of TFC after pharmacological stress with coronary function among women with suspected ischemia and no obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA).

Methods

Women with suspected INOCA enrolled in the WISE-CVD (Women's Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation-Coronary Vascular Dysfunction) study (NCT00832702) underwent coronary angiography with coronary function testing, to measure coronary flow reserve to adenosine, change in coronary blood flow and diameter in response to acetylcholin
