WOMEN HAVE HIGHER FALSE NEGATIVE RESULTS ON NON-INVASIVE STRESS IMAGING IN COMPARISON WITH FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE GUIDED CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY

Non-Invasive Fractional Flow Reserve Estimation with Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. Myocardial ischemia results when myocardial blood flow is insufficient to meet demand; this causes symptoms and affects patient outcome [2]. According to current guidelines for the management of stable CAD, revascularisation should be guided by the presence of myocardial ischaemia. The treatment ...

Comparison of non-invasive multi-slice computed tomography coronary angiography versus invasive coronary angiography and fractional flow reserve for the evaluation of men with known coronary artery disease.

Multislice computed tomographic coronary angiography (MSCT) can accurately detect the presence of atherosclerosis noninvasively. However, a discrepancy has been observed between MSCT and noninvasive functional imaging. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between MSCT and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) in men with known coronary artery disease. Thirty-three p...

Diagnostic accuracy of stress myocardial perfusion imaging compared to invasive coronary angiography with fractional flow reserve meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease is an important indication for revascularization. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging is a noninvasive alternative to invasive fractional flow reserve for evaluating hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease. The aim was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging by single-photon emission computed...

Cost analysis of non-invasive fractional flow reserve derived from coronary computed tomographic angiography in Japan

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on fractional flow reserve (FFRcath) measurement during invasive coronary angiography (CAG) results in improved patient outcome and reduced healthcare costs. FFR can now be computed non-invasively from standard coronary CT angiography (cCTA) scans (FFRCT). The purpose of this study is to determine the potential impact of non-invasive FFRCT on costs...
