The index of microvascular resistance (IMR) is an established tool to assess the status of coronary microcirculation. However, the need for a pressure wire and hyperemic agents have limited its routine use and have led to the development of angiography‐derived pressure‐wire‐free methods (angiography‐derived IMR [IMRAngio]). In this review and meta‐analysis, we aim to assess the global diagnosis accuracy of IMRAngio versus IMR.
