Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index used to describe the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis. It measures the pressure drop under conditions of maximal hyperaemia between the aorta and a selected vessel location distal to an angiographic lesion.1 Several FFR studies have identified patient groups in whom coronary stenting is associated with improved outcomes when compared with…

The translation to clinical practice of agents or techniques that protect against the effect of ischaemia–reperfusion (IR) injury remains one of the most challenging areas of research in the field of cardiovascular medicine.1–4 This is particularly the case when IR injury follows revascularisation for acute MI (AMI). The publication of the combined Effect of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning on…

The invasive measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) can determine the haemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. Determination of FFR is recommended in coronary artery stenoses with a luminal diameter narrowing between 50 % and 90 % if no non-invasive proof of ischaemia is available.1 To measure the FFR of a given coronary lesion, a wire or a microcatheter equipped with a…
