Core Tip	In this article, we highlight the ability of quantitative myocardial blush grade for the assessment of microvascular integrity in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and heart transplant (HT) recipients with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). Using an, in the meanwhile well-established, computational algorithm, a prompt diagnosis can be made in the catheterization lab, which can identify patients with ACS and increased risk for myocardial remodelling and congestive heart failure in the long-term. In addition, this computational algorithm can identify HT recipients with increased risk for CAV and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
