Background: Values of fractional flow reserve (FFR) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) decline from the ostium to the terminal vessel, irrespective of stenosis severity. The purpose of this study is to determine if the site of measurement of FFR impacts assessment of ischemia and its diagnostic performance relative to invasive FFR (FFR).

Methods: 1484 patients underwent FFR; 1910 vessels were stratified by stenosis severity (normal; <25%, 25-50%, 50-70%, and >70% stenosis).
