Mechanisms of gradual pressure drop in angiographically normal left anterior descending and right coronary artery: Insights from wave intensity analysis

•Coronary pressure gradually decreased across the length of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) but not the right coronary artery (RCA).•The backward-traveling suction wave decreased through the length of the LAD.•The change in the backward suction wave correlated with myocardial territory siz...
