Summary

Speaker: Prof Javier Escaned, Consultant Cardiologist, Clinico San Carlos, Spain

Javier Escaned talks about the advantages of using coronary pressure based measurements in companions to coronary flow measurement.

Key learning points:

Pressure is easier than flow to measure in routine clinical practice
Most physiological techniques in routine practice focus on epicardial disease
Understanding the microcirculation may be of additional value to understanding symptoms of chest pain
