Discordance Between Resting and Hyperemic Indices of Coronary Stenosis Severity
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the ratio of distal coronary pressure to aortic pressure (Pd/Pa) across a stenosis measured during maximal hyperemia, most commonly achieved by the intracoronary or intravenous administration of adenosine. Multiple studies have demonstrated that FFR-guided revascularization improves clinical outcomes compared with angiographic guidance alone. This has resulted i...
متن کاملAssociation between coronary lesion severity and distal microvascular resistance in patients with coronary artery disease.
Homogeneity of microvascular resistance in different perfusion areas of the same heart is generally assumed. We investigated the effect of the severity of an epicardial stenosis on microvascular resistance in 27 patients with coronary artery disease and stable angina. All patients had an angiographically normal coronary artery, an artery with an intermediate lesion, and an artery with a severe ...
متن کاملEffect of simultaneous intracoronary guidewires on the predictive accuracy of functional parameters of coronary lesion severity.
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a second guidewire on the diagnostic accuracy of functional parameters of coronary lesion severity. Sixty-five patients with intermediate coronary lesions underwent myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), and hyperemic stenosis resistance (HSR) index (HSR = stenosis pressure gra...
متن کاملCoronary artery revascularization. Critical need for, and consequences of, objective angiographic assessment of lesion severity.
T he treatment of coronary artery disease patients with revascularization procedures has escalated dramatically in the 1980s. In 1989, an estimated 450,000 coronary artery revascularization procedures were performed with either percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG); in 1980, less than 250,000 such procedures were performed. Despite ...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and the severity of coronary artery disease
Background: It has been implicated that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between OSA and severity of atherosclerosis assessed by angiography. Methods: This study included 337 patients ...
