International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2018 Abstract Background: Moderate coronary artery lesions can be, or not, responsible for myocardial ischemia. The functional analysis of these lesions can be performed by invasive and noninvasive methods. Objective: To compare the functional analysis of moderate coronary lesions by fractional flow reserve and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Methods: 47

Fractional flow reserve after previous myocardial infarction [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2007 Marques and colleagues have conducted an interesting study on microvascular resistance of viable tissue within an infarcted area. 1 This study is important, not only from a conceptual point of view, but also because it has several relevant implications for the applicability of MIBI spect and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in patients with ...

Personalised fractional flow reserve: a novel concept to optimise myocardial revascularisation
EuroIntervention, 2019 Fractional flow reserve (FFR) represents the percentage reduction in coronary flow relative to a hypothetically normal artery; however, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) seldom achieves physiological normality (FFR 1.00), particularly in the context of diffuse disease.

Effect of Plaque Burden and Morphology on Myocardial Blood Flow and Fractional Flow Reserve [PDF]
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018 Atherosclerotic plaque characteristics may affect downstream myocardial perfusion, as well as coronary lesion severity.This study sought to evaluate the association between quantitative plaque burden and plaque morphology obtained using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and quantitative myocardial perfusion obtained using [15O]H2O positron

Fractional Flow Reserve-Based Patient Risk Classification
Diagnostics, 2023 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death. If not treated in a timely manner, cardiovascular diseases can cause a plethora of major life complications that can include disability and a loss of the ability to work.

Bridging the Gap in a Rare Cause of Angina
European Cardiology Review, 2021 Myocardial bridging occurs when coronary arteries run intramurally. Episodes of tachycardia can cause a dynamic obstruction that extends into diastole, compromising coronary filling time, and subsequently leading to ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia, acute

Biomimetics, 2022 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 ...
