Zusammenfassung:Additional Prognostic Value of Coronary Flow Reserve in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients With Negative Dipyridamole Stress Echocardiography by Wall Motion Criteria Lauro Cortigiani, Fausto Rigo, Sonia Gherardi, Rosa Sicari, Maurizio Galderisi, Francesco Bovenzi, Eugenio Picano The prognostic value of coronary flow reserve (CFR) in diabetic patients with negative stress echocardiography remains unknown. The aim of this prospective, multicenter, observational study was to compare the prognostic value of Doppler echocardiographic-derived CFR during vasodilator stress echocardiography with dipyridamole in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and negative dipyridamole stress echocardiography. Coronary flow reserve provides independent prognostic information in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and negative dipyridamole stress echocardiography. In particular, a normal CFR off therapy is associated with better and similar survival in the 2 populations.
