Hemodynamic assessment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: comparison between invasive non-hyperemic pressure ratio and angiography-derived quantitative flow ratio [PDF]
ObjectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the quantitative flow ratio (QFR) for hemodynamic exploration of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, using the invasive cerebrovascular pressure ratio (CVPR) and resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) as ...

Clinical assessment of resting full-cycle ratio and fractional flow reserve for coronary artery disease in a real-world cohort [PDF]
BackgroundThere are few reports published on the comparison of the resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) on the assessment of the severity of coronary stenosis.

Resting full-cycle ratio (RFR), an alternative to fractional flow reserve (FFR) for evaluating intermediate coronary artery stenosis, helps reduce patients’ time, cost, and discomfort. However, the validation data for RFR and FFR are lacking. We aimed to

Background. The saline-induced distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure ratio predicted fractional flow reserve (FFR). The resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) represents the maximal relative pressure difference in a cardiac cycle. Therefore, the present study

Comparison of Nitroglycerin-Induced Pressure Ratio Drop and Resting Full-Cycle Ratio in a Pressure Wire Study. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The acute drop in distal coronary pressure (Pd)-to-aortic pressure (Pa) ratio after intracoronary nitroglycerin (NTG-Pd/Pa) administration is an acceptable estimate of fractional flow reserve (FFR).

Interpretation of Discordance Between Non-Hyperemic Pressure Ratios and Fractional Flow Reserve: Potential Mechanisms and Clinical Implications [PDF]
Invasive coronary angiography remains the gold standard for assessing and treating coronary artery disease (CAD). While the decision to intervene on a severely stenotic lesion in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can be straightforward, assessing the ...
