Objective:To study the effect of mild coronary stenosis on coronary flow reserve(CFR)in patients with chest pain and non-obstructive coronary artery disease.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in 340 patients with chest pain whose coronary stenosis was less than 50%confirmed by imaging,and the CFR of the left anterior descending branch was measured by the transthoracic Doppler echocardiography under adenosine triphos-phate stress.According to the result of the CFR,the patients were divided into groups with CFR<2.5(n=84)and CFR≥2.5(n=256).The clinical data,coronary stenosis degree,and echocardiographic parameters were compared between the two groups,and the factors associated with the decrease in CFR were analyzed.Results:Univariate analysis showed that the age,systolic blood pressure,the percentage of female sex,the history of hy-pertension,and the proportion of mild coronary stenosis in the group with CFR<2.5 were higher than those in the group with CFR≥2.5(all P<0.05),while BMI,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and triglycer-ides(TG)levels in the group with CFR<2.5 were significantly lower than those in the group with CFR≥2.5(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that coronary artery stenosis(OR=1.995,95%CI:1.060-3.755,P=0.032),age(OR=1.085,95%CI:1.047-1.124,P<0.01),systolic blood pressure(OR=1.020,95%CI:1.000-1.040,P=0.048)were independently associated with the decrease of CFR.Conclusion:Mild coronary stenosis,age,and systolic blood pressure were independently associated with the decrease of CFR in pa-tients with chest pain and non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
