BACKGROUND The assessment of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) in left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) expands the risk stratification potential of stress echocardiography (SE) based on stress-induced regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA).OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and functional correlates of CFVR.METHODS This prospective, observational, multicenter study initially screened 3,410 patients (2,061 [60%] male; age 63 +/- 11 years; ejection fraction 61 +/- 9%) with known or suspected coronary artery disease and/or heart failure. All patients underwent SE (exercise, n = 1,288; vasodilator, n = 1,860; dobutamine, n = 262) based on new or worsening RWMA in 20 accredited laboratories of 8 countries. CFVR was calculated as the stress/rest ratio of diastolic peak flow velocity pulsed-Doppler assessment of LAD flow. A subset of 1,867 patients was followed up.RESULTS The success rate for CFVR on LAD was 3,002 of 3,410 (feasibility = 88%). Reduced (
