Article Synopsis
- This study explores a new method for accurately calculating fractional flow reserve (FFR) using coronary angiography to better identify patients who need intervention.
- The research involved a comparison of this new FFR framework against traditional wire-based FFR in 160 patients, revealing strong diagnostic performance metrics, such as a sensitivity of 79.3% and specificity of 95.4%.
- A key finding was the identification of longitudinal vorticity as a significant hemodynamic marker indicating the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients who haven't undergone revascularization.
