The concept of myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) was introduced into clinical practice
by N. Pijls and B. de Bruyne in the early 1990s. Despite considerable initial resistance and …

Background—Fractional flow reserve (FFR), an index of the hemodynamic severity of
coronary stenoses, is derived from invasive measurements and requires a pressure …

Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the reference standard for the assessment of
the functional significance of coronary artery stenoses, but remains underutilized. Our aims …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements can determine the haemodynamic relevance of
coronary artery stenoses. Current guidelines recommend their use in lesions in the absence …

Cumulative evidence has shown that coronary revascularization should be guided by
functional significance of coronary lesions. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard …

The use of diameter stenosis (DS), as revealed by coronary angiography, for predicting
fractional flow reserve (FFR) usually results in a high error rate of detection. In this study, we …

Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index of coronary stenosis severity and has
prognostic importance. iFR has been proposed as a new index which is independent of …

Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR), the hyperemic ratio of distal (P d) to proximal (P
a) coronary pressure, is used to identify the need for coronary revascularization. Changes in …

Introduction: Coronary arterial stenosis may impair myocardial perfusion with myocardial
ischemia and associated morbidity and mortality as result. The myocardial fractional flow …

Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessment requires the use of a costly pressure
wire in combination with the administration of a hyperemic agent, which may contribute to …
