Coronary microvascular obstruction: the new frontier in cardioprotection.

abstract：:Apart from local heterogeneities of myocardial blood flow, the regulation of vascular tone is equally complex. Changes in vascular tone are essential for the adaptation of coronary blood flow to varying metabolic demands. The majority of coronary vascular resistance is found in the microcirculation, that is, in vessel...
