Diagnostic and Prognostic Efficacy of Coronary Flow Capacity Obtained Using Pressure-Temperature Sensor-Tipped Wire-Derived Physiological Indices

Conclusions
PTW-CFC mapping was feasible, provided accurate stratifications of coronary flow impairment, and may predict MACE. Combined analysis involving PTW-CFC and fractional flow reserve may enrich the clinical implication of integrated coronary physiology and may help predict prognosis.
