At the patient level, those with reduced CFR showed a significantly higher prevalence of diffused atherosclerosis (41% vs. 23%; P < 0.001) and higher FAI (−75.5 HU In the patient-level analysis, obstructive CAD, diffused atherosclerosis, and FAI were independently linked with CFR. Results We detected a decrease in CFR (<2.5)
