Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the relationship between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and noninvasive ischemia tests in patients with serious coronary artery obstructions.
- A retrospective analysis of 96 patients found that all had ischemia, but only 52% showed FFR values at or below the critical threshold of 0.80.
- The results indicate no strong correlation between FFR measurements and noninvasive ischemia tests, questioning the reliability of FFR in these cases.
