Contrast FFR plus intracoronary injection of nitroglycerine accurately predicts FFR for coronary stenosis functional assessment.

CONCLUSIONS: Submaximal hyperemic adenosine-free indexes are an efficient alternative to adenosine for the physiological assessment of epicardial coronary disease. The most accurate index in predicting the functional significance of coronary stenosis using FFR as reference was cFFRNTG. PMID: 33258564 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
