Method and device for determining a coronary microvascular resistance score

Abstract

A method of determining a microvascular resistance score indicating perfusion of myocardial tissue in a body of a mammal is provided, comprising obtaining acquired blood pressure data and flow data of blood in a cardiac vessel while the mammal is in a first physiological state; obtaining throughflow data indicative of a geometry the cardiac vessel; generating adjusted blood pressure data and adjusted flow data corresponding to a second physiological state, based on the acquired blood pressure value and the first physiological state; generating the microvascular resistance score, based on the adjusted blood pressure data, the adjusted flow data and the throughflow data; and providing, through an electronic output signal, the microvascular resistance score for display on an electronic display module.
