1.5 and 3 Tesla quantification of myocardial perfusion reserve in comparison to fractional flow reserve [PDF]
Methods Thirty-four patients referred for coronary x-ray angiography with suspected or known coronary artery disease underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at 1.5 and 3 Tesla, and additionally FFR measurement in LAD, CX and RCA. MPR was calculated in 544 myocardial segments at both field strenghts.

Diagnostic efficacy of CCTA and CT-FFR based on risk factors for myocardial ischemia
Background Coronary artery coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can observe the degree of coronary artery stenosis and fractional flow reserve (FFR) can diagnose hemodynamic abnormalities caused by coronary artery stenosis.

Fractional flow reserve in assessment of intermediate non-culprit lesions in acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
Context: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of intermediate non-culprit arteries can reduce death or heart attack risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Effect of Plaque Burden and Morphology on Myocardial Blood Flow and Fractional Flow Reserve
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 after previous myocardial infarction [PDF]
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 ...

Background The aim of our work was to compare the myocardial perfusion imaging by single-photon emission tomography (MPI-SPECT) as a non-invasive, relatively non-expensive test versus the instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) for the evaluation of ...

Fractional Flow Reserve-Based Patient Risk Classification
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.
