Our results support a wider use of Angio-FFR in the cardiac catheterization laboratory to streamline our workflow for coronary physiologic assessment. Similarly, when the two most commonly used Angio-FFR (QFR, FFRangio) were compared, those had overlapping AUCs without major differences among each other.

Conventional coronary angiograms are obtained by injecting medications directly into the coronary arteries and imaging them with X-ray equipment in cardiac catheterization laboratory. Balloon angioplasty is removal of blocks from the blood vessels using slender long tubes with high pressure balloons at the tip.

Methods : We searched the catheterization laboratory database for all cases coded as acute Inferior STEMI from January 2002 through March 2008. However, we believe that changes in lead aVL are far more sensitive. Objectives : To find the incidence of any rSTD or T-wave inversion (TWI) in angiographically proven inferior STEMI.

Discussing further, Catheterization Laboratory, also called Cath Lab, is a medical examination room where angiogram, angioplasty, ablation, and implantation of pacemaker are carried out. This includes treatment of more patients, doing so more securely and with better clinical success. Building Smart Cath Labs is highly related to it.
