The use of physiology to guide revascularisation in patients with coronary disease has been demonstrated to improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs.1,2 Despite this, its adoption into clinical practice is very low,3 moreover, when it is employed it is used simplistically – only to determine if the vessel is ischaemic or not.
Recently, several new indices of stenosis severity have been…

During the recent Scientific Sessions of the American College of Cardiology (ACC 2017) the results of two large studies in coronary physiology, DEFINE FLAIR and iFR SWEDEHEART, were presented.
Together, the population of these two studies exceed that of all available trials on FFR. The conclusions are highly relevant to understand the present and future of physiological guidance of coronary…

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) encompass a wide spectrum of clinical presentations that range from ST-elevation MI (STEMI) to non-ST-elevation MI and unstable angina. These conditions are life threatening and remain a source of high morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, despite major accomplishments worldwide in timely reperfusion with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), an important…
