Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The long-term prognostic significance of the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) for non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the additional prognostic value of CT-FFR beyond CCTA-defined atherosclerotic burden for long-term outcomes.
