Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) related to fractional flow reserve (FFR) and resting distal-to-aortic pressure ratio (resting Pd/Pa) concordance.
Background: QFR is a method for computation of FFR based on standard coronary angiography. It is unclear how QFR is performed in patients with discordance between FFR and resting pressure ratios (distal-to-aortic pressure ratio [Pd/Pa]).
Materials And Methods: The main comparison was the diagnostic performance of QFR with FFR as reference stratified by correspondence between FFR and resting Pd/Pa. Secondary outcome measures included distribution of clinical or procedural characteristics stratified by FFR and resting Pd/Pa correspondence.
Results: Four prospective studies matched the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed on patient level data reaching a total of 759 patients and 887 vessels with paired FFR, QFR, and resting Pd/Pa. Median FFR was 0.85 (IQR: 0.77-0.90). Diagnostic accuracy of QFR with FFR as reference was higher if FFR corresponded to resting Pd/Pa: accuracy 90% (95% CI: 88-92) versus 72% (95% CI: 64-80), p < .001, and sAUC 0.95 (95% CI: 0.92-0.96) versus 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.77), p < .001. Resting Pd/Pa and FFR discordance were related to age, sex, hypertension, and lesion severity.
Conclusion: Diagnostic performance of QFR with FFR as reference is reduced for lesions with discordant FFR (≤0.80) and resting Pd/Pa (≤0.92) measurements.

Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis for Non-invasive Model-Based Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Prediction.

The main objectives of this work are to validate a 1D-0D unsteady solver with a distributed stenosis model for the patient-specific estimation of resting haemodynamic indices and to assess the sensitivity of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) predictions to uncertainties in input parameters. We considered 52 patients with stable coronary artery disease, for which 81 invasive iFR measurements were available. We validated the performance of our solver compared to 3D steady-state and transient results and invasive measurements.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how well the drop in coronary pressure after administering nitroglycerin (NTG) can predict fractional flow reserve (FFR) compared to the resting full-cycle ratio (RFR).
- In total, 202 vessels were analyzed from two prospective studies, where NTG-Pd/Pa showed a strong correlation with FFR (r = 0.945) and a cutoff value of 0.85 was established.
- Results indicated that NTG-Pd/Pa performed better than RFR in predicting FFR ≤ 0.8, with higher accuracy (91% vs. 84%) and sensitivity, making it a potentially more effective diagnostic tool.
Combined assessment of fractional flow reserve, resting full-cycle ratio, and resting ratio of distal coronary to aortic pressure for clinical outcomes.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic indices are invasive standards for evaluating functional significance of coronary stenosis. However, data are limited about outcomes in vessels with concordant and discordant physiological results, particularly with a ratio of distal coronary to aortic pressure (Pd/Pa) at rest.
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational study.

Background: Age-related remodelling has the potential to affect the microvascular response to hyperemic stimuli. However, its precise effects on the vasodilatory response to adenosine and contrast medium, as well as its influence on fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR), have not been previously investigated. We investigate the impact of age on these indices.
