Abstract
Microcirculatory aberrations as assessed by tissue TMPG is abnormal across all coronary territories in cardiac transplant recipients and associated with poor survival, suggesting a generalized microvascular involvement even in the presence of a normal angiogram. Patients with focal epicardial coronary narrowing have significantly greater decline in tissue perfusion, independent of the coronary territory involved, and exhibit poor survival compared with patients without epicardial coronary disease.
