Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Coronary angiography gives a visual impression about the severity of the stenosis. But it need not imply the actual functional significance of the stenosis in terms of flow physiology. If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Normal FFR is 1.0 and an FFR below 0.75 in the study.
