Cardiac imaging has a pivotal role in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of ischaemic
heart disease. SPECT is most commonly used for clinical myocardial perfusion imaging …

In this review, the authors reflect upon the role of coronary physiology in the modern
management of coronary artery disease. They critically appraise the scientific background of …

Background The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is an index used to assess the severity
of coronary-artery stenosis. The index has been tested against fractional flow reserve (FFR) …

Background Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is
associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by …

Zachęca się pracowników opieki zdrowotnej, aby w pełni uwzględniali te wytyczne
ESC/EACTS, gdy dokonują oceny klinicznej, a także kiedy określają i realizują medyczne …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a functional index quantifying the severity of coronary artery
lesions and is clinically obtained using an invasive, catheter-based measurement. Recently …

Aims To investigate if recent technical and procedural developments in percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) significantly influence outcomes in appropriately selected …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the incidence and causes of an abnormal
instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) after angiographically successful percutaneous …

Objectives: This study sought to examine the diagnostic accuracy of the instantaneous wave-
free ratio (iFR) and resting distal coronary artery pressure/aortic pressure (P d/P a) with …

Background: Pressure measurement for the duration of the wave-free period (WFP) is
considered essential for resting-state physiological assessment of coronary stenosis severity …
