Fractional Flow Reserve in Patients With Prior Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Background — Fractional flow reserve (FFR), an index of coronary stenosis severity, can be calculated from the ratio of hyperemic distal to proximal coronary pressure.

The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is 30–68%. Nevertheless, there is still not enough evidence to use invasive assessment of lesion severity, because the hemodynamic milieu of AS may impact the ...

Fractional Flow Reserve–Guided Multivessel Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction
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

FAME 2 – The best initial strategy for patients with stable coronary artery disease: Do we have an answer at last? [PDF]
Results of the Fractional flow reserve versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation 2 (FAME 2) trial were recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Munich and published concurrently in the New England Journal of Medicine1.

Myocardial bridging is a rare event, which leads to chest pain, arrhythmias and discussable Takotsubo syndrome (cardiomyopathy). We enrolled 41 patients (33 females, mean age 68.4 years), the majority of whom had Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in any form ...

Validation of Collateral Fractional Flow Reserve by Myocardial Perfusion Imaging [PDF]
Background — Collateral fractional flow reserve (FFR coll ) is an index to quantify collateral blood flow, derived from coronary pressure measurements.

Effect of Varying Hemodynamic and Vascular Conditions on Fractional Flow Reserve: An In Vitro Study
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of varying hemodynamic conditions on fractional flow reserve (ratio of pressure distal [Pd] and proximal [Pa] to stenosis under hyperemia) in an in vitro setting.

FFR post-PCI: what we learned from the FFR-SEARCH study
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE AFTER STENTING? The introduction of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the mid 90s moved coronary physiology from experimental science to routine use at the cath lab.1-3 Added to the better ...

Fractional flow reserve-guided management in stable coronary disease and acute myocardial infarction: recent developments [PDF]
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, and improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of CAD can reduce the health and economic burden of this condition.

Background Concerns exist about reliability of pressure‐wire‐guided coronary revascularization of non‐infarct‐related arteries (non‐IRA). We investigated whether physiological assessment of non‐IRA during the subacute phase of myocardial infarction might
