As coronary angiography is of limited value in defining the functional significance of a stenosis, the timely article by Balanescu in this issue of European Cardiology Review rationally proposes to integrate the anatomic information with a functional assessment, either by measuring coronary flow reserve (CFR) or intracoronary artery pressure with fractional flow reserve (FFR). CFR measurements… View more

Coronary artery disease (CAD) due to atherosclerosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Early prevention of atherothrombotic disease with a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, optimal body weight and no smoking) is considered the best method of “treating” CAD, although increasing age remains associated with significant cardiovascular events. When coronary atherothrombotic disease… View more

Clinical and economic benefits of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided revascularisation have been established and the strategy is a class-1 recommendation in current guidelines.1,2 FFR values both before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been reported to provide prognostic information.3–5 Originally, FFR was used as a surrogate measure of impaired coronary flow, and… View more

The emphasis in ischaemic heart disease (IHD) diagnosis has historically been directed towards the identification of epicardial coronary stenosis by selective coronary angiography, and its management by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary bypass graft surgery. Over the past two decades, the application of coronary physiology techniques to identify the haemodynamic severity of… View more
