Coronary Computed Tomography with Fractional Flow Reserve — A New Gun in the Arsenal?

Kirsten E. Fleischmann

Abstract

Evaluation of chest pain often involves testing for either anatomic coronary disease or functional ischemia. In this multicenter study, 252 stable patients with suspected coronary artery disease underwent invasive coronary angiography with fractional flow reserve (CA-FFR; the reference standard for assessing the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions) and noninvasive computed tomographic …
