Myocardial ischaemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) develops both due to the epicardial coronary artery stenosis and to the microvascular injury. We aimed to evaluate coronary blood flow in ESRD patients by means of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count method (TFC). In patients with ESRD, implementation of the TFC as a marker of the coronary flow abnormalities have not been previously investigated.
