We would like to comment on this case and obtain further information from the authors&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Firstly&#44; coronary slow flow &#40;CSF&#41; pattern&#44; assessed using the TIMI frame count &#40;TFC&#41; method&#44; have been viewed as a sign of increased coronary microvascular resistance&#44; and are generally indicative of a severe adrenergic storm and the presence of substantial levels of associated vasoconstrictor mediators&#44; such as neuropeptide-Y &#40;co-released with noradrenaline&#41; in the setting of TC&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;4-10</span></a> As expected&#44; an existing CSF in this setting might also suggest high HMR values&#44; and vice versa&#46; What&#44; therefore&#44; were the baseline TFC values in the patient&#39;s major epicardial coronary arteries&#63; Did these values also change significantly after adenosine infusion in correlation with the HMR values&#63; This information might shed light on whether CSF patterns and increased HMR could be used interchangeably or in a complementary fashion to determine enhanced microvascular resistance in patients with TC&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Secondly&#44; CSF pattern in TC may not be a uniform finding&#44; yet&#59; a prognostic sign that might only emerge in a portion of TC cases&#44; and might predict adverse events&#44; including arrhythmogenesis&#44; heart failure&#44; etc&#46;&#44; and in these cases&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;8-10</span></a> possibly in correlation with its extent and severity&#46; This may also hold true for increased HMR values in this setting&#46; Did the patient with apparently very high HMR values in two of her major coronary arteries present with an arrhythmic event or decompensated heart failure in a hospital setting&#63; Additionally&#44; an extreme adrenergic storm during an index TC might be a predictor of recurrent episodes<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;9&#44;10</span></a> and might be evidenced by very high TFC<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> and&#47;or HMR values in this setting&#46; This would require close supervision of the patient<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> combined with potential preventive strategies against TC recurrence in the long-term&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;9&#44;10</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Thirdly&#44;

thus improving overall prognosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;9</span></a> This leads us to question whether the patient received any vasodilator therapy&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">And lastly&#44; the patient<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> was also reported to have low CFR&#44; which has been an underrated vascular index in patients with TC&#46; It is Important to note that acutely impaired CFR might also have adjunctive prognostic value in these patients&#46; However&#44; given the high predilection of syndrome-X&#44; characterized by blunted coronary vasodilation during exercise as part of generalized endothelial dysfunction in postmenopausal women&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> impaired CFR might be present as a coincidental finding in certain TC cases &#40;which might have occurred in the present case&#41;

the authors<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> should be congratulated for their enlightening case report that documents coronary function as assessed by vascular indices in a patient with classical TC&#46; Routine assessment of these parameters during coronary angiogram might enable initial risk-stratification of TC cases at disease onset&#44; and help tailor patient-specific management strategies &#40;vasodilators&#44;
