Labelled microspheres in combination with reactive myocardial hyperemia were used to assess the state of the expansion reserves of the myocardial microcirculation in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). It was found that in the majority of CHD patients the expansion reserves were reduced whereas in patients with marked atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries and post-infarction cardiosclerosis they were absent altogether.
