ABSTRACT
Coronary microvascular dysfunction is a highly prevalent condition in both obstructive and nonobstructive coronary artery disease. Intracoronary thermodilution is a promising technique to investigate coronary microvascular (dys)function in vivo and to assess its most important metric microvascular resistance. Here, the authors provide a practical review of bolus and continuous thermodilution for the measurement of coronary flow and microvascular resistance. The authors describe the basic principles of indicator-dilution theory and of coronary thermodilution and detail the practicalities of their application in the catheterization laboratory. Finally, the authors discuss contemporary clinical applications of coronary thermodilution-based microvascular assessment in humans and future perspectives.
