Core Tip The present study is a contribution to investigate the association between the abnormalities in arterial wave reflections and coronary flow reserve. We demonstrated that augmentation of the systolic component of the central aortic pulse wave instead of diastolic is related with impaired coronary flow reserve after adjustment for several other factors potentially influencing coronary microcirculatory function. Furthermore, endothelial dysfunction as assessed by reactive hyperemia index and an inflammatory process as assessed by increased levels of lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 are related with increased arterial stiffness and abnormal wave reflections in coronary artery disease patients.
