Coronary Physiology in Contemporary Clinical Practice, An Issue of Cardiology Clinics (True PDF )

by Allen Jeremias (Author)
Since the original description by Pijls and colleagues in 1993, Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) has established itself as the key diagnostic tool to determine lesion severity during coronary angiography and the deciding factor whether a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is indicated and necessary. Since the original publication of the “Physiology” issue in Interventional Cardiology Clinics in 2015, the routine use of physiology during PCI in the United States has more than doubled to ∼25%. Importantly, the clinical applications of coronary physiology measurements have also increased substantially over the past few years.
