Introduction: The presence and extent of myocardial ischemia are the major determinants of
prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Unlike coronary angiography …

Introduction: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an objective physiological index utilized in
coronary angiography. It expresses the blood flow in the presence of a coronary artery …

Revascularization of ischemia‐producing coronary lesions is widely used in the
management of coronary artery disease. However, some coronary lesions appear significant …

Despite advances in therapy, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the past years, the utilization of revascularization …

Key Points To guide the decision‐making process for coronary revascularization in the cath
lab, FFR has been proven to enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs compared with …

Background Physiological assessment of intermediate coronary lesions to guide coronary
revascularization is currently recommended by international guidelines. Vessel fractional …

Opinion statement Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided coronary revascularization is
associated with an unequivocal clinical benefit compared with angiographic guidance …

Evidence robustly demonstrates that ischemia, rather than anatomy, is the optimal target for
coronary revascularization. In the cardiac catheter laboratory, fractional flow reserve (FFR) …

The evidence for the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) as a first-line
diagnostic tool in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) has been solidified …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive physiologic index measured in the cardiac
catheterization laboratory to assess the functional significance of a coronary stenosis. It is …
