The document discusses functional coronary angiography techniques to assess both epicardial vessels and the microcirculation. It endorses educational content from EAPCI, a branch of the European Society of Cardiology. The techniques described allow for evaluation of the microcirculation in addition to epicardial vessels through the use of pressure and temperature wires and measurements. Tables and figures are provided to illustrate the assessment methods.
