CT-FFR: Clinical Application [PDF]
Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2018 Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for guiding decision making to identify patients who would benefit from revascularization. Now, computed tomography can also do that by using computational fluid dynamics to calculate fractional

Agreement of Fractional Flow Reserve Estimated by Computed Tomography With Invasively Measured Fractional Flow Reserve: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis [PDF]
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular DiseaseBackground Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the ratio of blood pressure measured distal to a stenosis and pressure proximal to a stenosis. FFR can be estimated noninvasively using computed tomography (CT) although the usefulness of this technique remains

Sex Differences in Fractional Flow Reserve Utilization. [PDF]
J Clin MedBackground: The literature review shows that female patients are more frequently underdiagnosed or suffer from delayed diagnosis. Recognition of sex-related differences is crucial for implementing strategies to improve cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to assess sex-related disparities in the frequency of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided procedures

Computed Tomography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve: Developing A Gold Standard for Coronary Artery Disease Diagnostics [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular MedicineIn recent years, a new technique called computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) has been developed. CT-FFR overcomes many limitations in the current gold-standard fractional flow reserve (FFR) techniques while maintaining a better ...
