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 ...

Safety of the Deferral of Coronary Revascularization on the Basis of Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements in Stable Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndromes. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients deferred from coronary revascularization on the basis of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in stable angina pectoris ...

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 ...

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

Reannihilation of self-interacting dark matter [PDF]
We explore the phenomenology of having a second epoch of dark matter annihilation into dark radiation long after the standard thermal freeze-out. Such a hidden reannihilation process could affect visible sectors only gravitationally.

Laser anemometer measurements of trailing vortices in water [PDF]
A series of measurements of trailing vortices behind lifting hydrofoils is described. These measurements were made in the Caltech Free-Surface Water Tunnel, using a laser-Doppler velocimeter to measure two components of velocity in the vortex wake.

Is the Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Equivalent to Fractional Flow Reserve?
We read the paper by Sen et al. [(1)][1] with great interest; the study was designed to explore whether the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) was an adenosine-free alternative to fractional flow reserve (FFR) for the assessment of coronary stenosis.
