Background: We evaluated the prognosis of deferred and revascularized coronary stenoses
after fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement to assess its revascularization threshold in …

Computational predictions in cardiovascular medicine have largely relied on explicit models
derived from physical and physiological principles. Recently, the application of artificial …

Background Approximately 800 000 coronary angiography procedures are performed in
Germany each year, mainly in order to identify coronary artery stenoses. As a rule …

Purpose The main objectives of this study are to validate a reduced-order model for the
estimation of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) index based on blood flow simulations that …

Coronary angiography has been the principle modality for assessing the severity of
atherosclerotic coronary artery disease for several decades. However, there is a complex …

Abstract Introduction and Objectives Use of invasive physiological assessment in patients
with coronary artery disease varies widely and is perceived to be low. We aimed to examine …

Background Dynamic myocardial computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is an emerging
technique to diagnose significant coronary stenosis. However, this procedure has not been …

Background: The underuse of invasive fraction flow reserve (FFR) in clinical practice has
motivated research towards its non-invasive prediction. The early attempts relied on solving …

Objectives This study sought to explore the efficacy of the conical stent implantation in the
coronary artery by comparing the effects of cylindrical and conical stents on wall shear stress …

“Why don't physicians follow clinical practice guidelines?” That question—the title of a broad
data review and synthesis (1)—remains as valid today as it was almost 20 years ago when …
