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. indicates inducible ischemia while an FFR above 0.80 excludes ischemia in 90% of cases. identified physiologically significant stenosis.
