Influence of Microcirculatory Dysfunction on Angiography-Based Functional Assessment of Coronary Stenoses
Conclusions CMD decreases the diagnostic performance of QFR. However, even in the presence of CMD, QFR remains superior to angiography alone in ascertaining functional stenosis severity. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions)

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.

Influence of Local Myocardial Damage on Index of Microcirculatory Resistance and Fractional Flow Reserve in Target and Nontarget Vascular Territories in a Porcine Microvascular Injury Model
Conclusions In Yorkshire swine models, local microvascular damage increased both FFR and IMR in a vessel supplying target myocardial territory. However, IMR and FFR were maintained in the other vessel. These physiological results in swine support the concept that FFR measurement might provide useful information for evaluating nonculprit lesions in clinical settings involving significant acute myocardial injury.
