Influence of contrast media dose and osmolality on the diagnostic performance of contrast fractional flow reserve [PDF]
Background—Contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR) is a method for assessing functional significance of coronary stenoses, which is more accurate than resting indices and does not require adenosine.

Novel Humanized Biosimulator to Predict Coronary Obstruction in High-Risk Valve-in-Valve Procedures
We developed humanized biosimulator to predict the risk of coronary obstruction among high-risk patients undergoing valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures. In this case, based on unchanged instantaneous wave-free ratio values measured during a ViV simulation ...

ECG-Independent Calculation of Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio
The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a recently developed invasive index of coronary disease severity that simplifies stenosis assessment by eliminating the need for vasodilator administration [(1–4)][1].

Meta-analysis of death and myocardial infarction in the DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART trials: a hypothesis generating note of caution [PDF]
In patients with coronary heart disease, revascularization can improve symptoms and in certain high-risk subgroups may improve prognosis. Coronary angiography provides anatomical information and the physiological significance of a stenosis can be ...

The influence of non-equilibrium dissociation on the flow produced by shock impingement on a blunt body [PDF]
We describe an investigation of the effects of non-equilibrium thermochemistry on the interaction between a weak oblique shock and the strong bow shock formed by a blunt body in hypersonic flow.

Diagnostic accuracy of instantaneous wave free‐ratio in clinical practice
AimsTo evaluate the correlation between iFR and FFR in real‐world clinical practice.Methods and ResultsRetrospective, single‐centre study of 229 consecutive pressure‐wire studies (np = 158). Real‐time iFR and FFR measurements were performed for angiographically borderline stenoses.

The inter-study reproducibility of instantaneous wave-free ratio and angiography coregistration [PDF]
Coregistration system of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) pullback and angiography has been developed to enhance benefits of physiology oriented percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but its reproducibility has not yet been fully assessed.In 51 coronary arteries from 39 patients with stable coronary artery disease, iFR angio-coregistrations were
