Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of the non-hyperaemic pressure ratio (NHPR) in assessing coronary stenosis without the need for hyperemic conditions, comparing it to the established method of fractional flow reserve (FFR).
- The analysis of data from 700 patients revealed that an NHPR cutoff of 0.93 accurately predicts significant lesions with an overall diagnostic accuracy of approximately 78.84%.
- The findings suggest that NHPR may be a useful alternative in specific clinical situations, though FFR remains the gold standard when hyperemia can be induced or is clinically indicated.
