Determination of the management of a patient with stable ischemic heart disease according to the data of fractional flow reserve study [PDF]
Revascularization of coronary arteries is a key method of the contemporary treatment of patients with atherosclerotic coronary stenoses. However, at an intermediate degree of stenosis, the decision on the appropriateness of revascularization may depend ...

Invasive physiological indices to determine the functional significance of coronary stenosis
Physiological measurements are now commonly used to assess coronary lesions in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory, and this practice is evidence-based and supported by clinical guidelines. Fractional flow reserve is currently the gold standard method

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.
