Fractional Flow Reserve–Guided Multivessel Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2017
In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to restore blood flow in an infarct-related coronary artery improves outcomes. The use of PCI in non-infarct-related coronary arteries remains controversial.We randomly assigned 885 patients with STEMI and multivessel disease who had

Fractional Flow Reserve in Patients With Prior Myocardial Infarction [PDF]

Circulation, 2001
Background — Fractional flow reserve (FFR), an index of coronary stenosis severity, can be calculated from the ratio of hyperemic distal to proximal coronary pressure.

Association Among Noncalcified Coronary Burden, Fractional Flow Reserve, and Myocardial Injury in Psoriasis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Myocardial infarction and premature death have been observed in patients with psoriasis. Although inflammation‐driven accelerated atherosclerosis has been proposed as a mechanism, the relationship between subclinical noncalcified coronary ...

Real‐World Outcomes of FFRangio‐Guided Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease in Acute Versus Chronic Coronary Syndromes [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The use of angiogram‐based fractional flow reserve technologies in routine clinical practice is increasing steadily. Available data suggest that it is associated with comparable clinical outcomes compared with wire‐based fractional flow ...

Exploring the Predictors of the Discrepancy Between Quantitative Flow Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Quantitative flow ratio is a novel technology for the functional assessment of intermediate coronary stenoses. The authors sought to explore the influence of diabetes mellitus on the application of quantitative flow ratio and predictors of ...

Fractional Flow Reserve or Coronary Flow Reserve for the Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reports, 2018
Accumulating evidence exists for the value of coronary physiology for clinical decision-making in ischemic heart disease (IHD). The most frequently used pressure-derived index to assess stenosis severity, the fractional flow reserve (FFR), has long been considered the gold standard for this purpose, despite the fact that the FFR assesses solely ...
