The importance of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in Coronary Artery Disease Management

Patients with insufficient oxygen supply to the heart, or myocardial ischemia, may benefit from coronary intervention (PCI), such as stenting of partially occluded vessels. The course of treatment for patients with CAD depends on disease severity. While coronary angiography is always performed prior to PCI, it may underestimate or overestimate the severity of specific cardiac lesions. In contrast, Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) provides a...
