Diagnostic Agreement of Quantitative Flow Ratio With Fractional Flow Reserve and Instantaneous Wave‐Free Ratio [PDF]
Background Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) has a high diagnostic accuracy in assessing functional stenoses relevance, as judged by fractional flow reserve (FFR). However, its diagnostic performance has not been thoroughly evaluated using instantaneous wave‐

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]
Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone. It is unknown whether the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), an alternative measure that does not require the administration of adenosine, will offer benefits similar to ...

Clinical Outcome of Revascularization Deferral With Instantaneous Wave‐Free Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up Substudy From the iFR‐SWEDEHEART Trial [PDF]
Background Although physiology‐based assessment of coronary artery stenosis using instantaneous wave‐free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) are established methods of guiding coronary revascularization, its clinical outcome in long‐term ...

Long‐Term Clinical Outcomes of Nonhyperemic Pressure Ratios: Resting Full‐Cycle Ratio, Diastolic Pressure Ratio, and Instantaneous Wave‐Free Ratio [PDF]
Background Nonhyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs) such as instantaneous wave‐free ratio, resting full‐cycle ratio, or diastolic pressure ratio have emerged as invasive physiologic indices precluding the need for hyperemic agents.

DFENet: Deep Feature Enhancement Network for Accurate Calculation of Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio [PDF]
Accurate iFR calculation can provide important clinical information for intracoronary functional assessment without administration of adenosine, which needs to locate object points in the pressure waveforms: peak, the dichrotic notch and the pressure ...

Diastolic pressure ratio: new approach and validation vs. the instantaneous wave-free ratio. [PDF]
Abstract Aims The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and whole-cycle Pd/Pa investigate coronary physiology during non-hyperaemic conditions. To test for unique physiologic properties of the wave-free period when making resting coronary pressure measurements, we compared post hoc a diastolic pressure ...

Differential predictability for high-risk plaque characteristics between fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio [PDF]
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with ...

Fractional Flow Reserve and Instantaneous Wave‐Free Ratio Predict Pathological Wall Shear Stress in Coronary Arteries: Implications for Understanding the Pathophysiological Impact of Functionally Significant Coronary Stenoses [PDF]
Background The pathophysiological mechanism behind adverse outcomes associated with ischemia‐inducing epicardial coronary stenoses and microcirculatory dysfunction remains unclear. Wall shear stress (WSS) plays an important role in atherosclerotic plaque

The reasons why fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio are similar using wave separation analysis [PDF]
Background and objectives Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the two most commonly used coronary indices of physiological stenosis severity based on pressure. To minimize the effect of wedge pressure (P wedge ), FFR
