Myocardial Perfusion and Coronary Physiology Assessment of Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation—Rationale and Design

open access: yesBiomimetics, 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 ...

Effect of Varying Hemodynamic and Vascular Conditions on Fractional Flow Reserve: An In Vitro Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
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

open access: yesREC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2021
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 ...

Coronary Microcirculation Downstream Non‐Infarct‐Related Arteries in the Subacute Phase of Myocardial Infarction: Implications for Physiology‐Guided Revascularization

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
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

Data on the impact of scan quality on the diagnostic performance of CCTA, SPECT, and PET for diagnosing myocardial ischemia defined by fractional flow reserve on a per vessel level

open access: yesData in Brief, 2019
Scan quality directly impacts the diagnostic performance of non-invasive imaging modalities as reported in a substudy of the PACIFC-trial: “Impact of Scan Quality on the Diagnostic Performance of CCTA, SPECT, and PET for Diagnosing Myocardial Ischemia ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Diastolic Fractional Flow Reserve for Functional Evaluation of Coronary Stenosis

open access: yesJACC: Asia, 2021
Background: In the resting conditions, narrowing the window of coronary pressure measurements from the whole cardiac cycle to diastole improves diagnostic performance of coronary pressure–derived physiological index. However, whether this also applies to
