CATH CMD is a global algorithm that captures the essential details of performing the bolus thermodilution workflow and assists in decision-making in a simple and stepwise manner. In summary, CATH captures the how to perform bolus thermodilution and CMD captures the what to do with the Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR) and Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) measurements to provide a diagnosis of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction (CMD).
A full physiology assessment (with Resting full-cycle Ratio (RFR), Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), IMR and CFR) of the epicardial arteries and the microvasculature can provide patients with persistent angina an accurate diagnosis to improve outcomes.1
Did you know a standardized approach to CMD assessment can enhance your workflow in the cath lab? Learn how the CATH CMD algorithm can help streamline the assessment of CMD and improve patient outcomes.
