Heterogeneous atrial denervation creates substrate for sustained atrial fibrillation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coronary flow reserve has been considered an important diagnostic index of the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis. With Doppler technique, it has been assessed as the ratio of hyperemic to basal coronary flow velocity (coronary flow velocity reserve [CFVR]) by invasive or semiinvasive method...
