Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy, CAV and its severity/diffusion independently contribute to reduced CFR. In patients without angiographic CAV, CFR was only independently related to RS. Because a high rejection burden is associated with increased risk of CAV, CFR reduction may be an early marker of CAV. Microvascular dysfunction may contribute to the late morbidity and mortality seen in HT.
