Aims: We sought to assess the reliability of the most frequently used intracoronary
physiologic indices (including intravenous adenosine FFR [IV-FFR], intracoronary low-dose …

This Doctoral Thesis represents, for me, the culmination of a very important chapter in my
life. I like to think of it as an adventure, a glance of the academic world and the beginning of …

Background The prerequisite for fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement is the induction
of maximal hyperemia, mostly with intracoronary (IC) or intravenous (IV) adenosine …

Background Measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become a standard
diagnostic tool in the catheterization laboratory. FFR evaluation studies were based on …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an evidence-based diagnostic tool of physiological
significance of coronary artery stenosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease …

Objectives Adenosine hyperemia is an integral component of the physiological assessment
of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) works. After 20 years and 3 landmark clinical trials, FFR is
arguably the best standard for determining the significance of coronary artery disease. By …

Background Variations in distal coronary pressure (Pd)/aortic pressure (Pa) ratio during
steady‐state hyperemia with standard (140 μg/kg per minute) adenosine dose may hamper …

The present study sought to compare the temporal relation between maximal coronary flow
(peak hyperemia) and minimal coronary-to-aortic pressure ratio (P d/P a) for intracoronary …

Es bien sabido que ocasionalmente una lesión coronaria angiográficamente
aparentemente significativa podría no causar isquemia y viceversa. Por eso las decisiones …
