Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement requires adenosine injection. However, adenosine can induce conductive and rhythmic complications, or be contraindicated in some patients. Contrast-induced hyperemia could provide a simple first-line method (contrast-enhanced FFR; cFFR) to assess coronary lesions. In this study we evaluated the accuracy of cFFR to predict lesion significance.
