- 2010 April, Julio A. Panza, “Coronary atherosclerosis: extending to the microcirculation?”, in European Heart Journal[1], volume 31, number 8, pages 905–907:
- Within the coronary microcirculation, it is important to recognize the difference between the pre-arterioles (ranging from 100 to 500 µm in diameter) and the microarterioles (<100 µm). [...] The smaller microarterioles are those that normally provide most of the vascular resistance [...]. The microarterioles are probably not under endothelial vasomotor regulation [...].
