| Abstract |
This thesis discusses the pertinence of combined intracoronary pressure and flow measurement for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. The first part of the thesis concerns the clinical benefit of multimodal physiological assessment of myocardial ischemia using intracoronary pressure and flow measurements. The second part of the thesis discusses novel innovations in coronary physiology introduced to simplify the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. The third part concerns the prognostic implications of systemic microvascular perfusion in cardiogenic shock.
