title: [Physiopathology of coronary microcirculation].
abstract: Coronary microcirculatory is the main target of contrast echocardiography. Coronary flow is one of the parameters which influence the myocardial blood flow but not the only one. Therefore, the knowledge of microcirculatory physiopathology is required in order to analyze datas from contrast echo.
