Background: Reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry and flow-mediated dilation are common noninvasive measures of peripheral vascular function. However, their relationship with the coronary circulation, particularly in coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare these noninvasive measurements with coronary microvascular function after endothelial-independent, endothelial-dependent, and sympathetically mediated pharmacologic hyperemia.Methods: Forty-seven patients with suspected CMD completed peripheral and coronary assessments. The reactive hyperemia index was collected using the EndoPAT2000 device, whereas a subset of patients (n = 28) completed brachial artery flow-mediated dilation using duplex ultrasound. Coronary microvascular function was quantified using the resistance and flow responses to intravenous adenosine (140 mg/kg/min), dobutamine (40 mg/kg/min), and intracoronary acetylcholine (100 mg). Abnormal coronary microvascular responses to adenosine and/or acetylcholine were used to define CMD.Results: The reactive hyperemia index (No CMD: 0.85 +/- 0.23 vs CMD: 0.61 +/- 0.26, P < 0.05) and flow-mediated dilation (No CMD: 7.2 +/- 2.3 vs CMD: 4.8 +/- 3.1; P < 0.05) were attenuated in patients with CMD. Whereas the reactive hyperemia index was correlated with the resistance and flow responses to dobutamine (rho -0.44 and rho = 0.39, respectively; P < 0.05), flow-mediated dilation was correlated with the resistance responses to both adenosine (rho = -0.48; P < 0.05) and acetylcholine (rho = -0.66; P < 0.05). Lastly, the reactive hyperemia index and flow-mediated dilation had sensitivities of 80% and 69% and specificities of 71% and 93%, respectively, for identifying patients with CMD.Conclusions: Peripheral vascular function is attenuated in CMD, and noninvasive measurements are associated with coronary responses to pharmaceutical stimulation.
