Simultaneous echocardiographic evaluation of coronary flow velocity reserve and aortic distensibility indices in hypertension

The coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), a measure of endothelial function in coronary circulation, can be measured semi-invasively in the left anterior descending coronary artery by using stress transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). During the same stress TEE, aortic distensibility indices (ela...
