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.

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
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 ...

Comparative cost-effectiveness analyses of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and coronary angiography combined with fractional flow reserve for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. [PDF]
According to recent guidelines, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) should undergo revascularization if significant myocardial ischemia is present.

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

Association of coronary ischemia estimated by fractional flow reserve and psychological characteristics of patients [PDF]
Introduction : Psychological characteristics of patients, depression, stress and anxiety are recognized as important confounding risk factors for ischemic heart disease.

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
