Abstract
An increase in the Sm/Dm ratio, which reflects a characteristic waveform, indicates impaired OA microcirculation. The ratio is negatively correlated with CFR, and therefore, it may be applied for the noninvasive evaluation of coronary physiology. Furthermore, hemoglobin A1c may be a common mediator for the OA and coronary microcirculation.
