SmartFFR, a New Functional Index of Coronary Stenosis: Comparison With Invasive FFR Data

Panagiotis K. Siogkas et al.

Summary: In this study, the efficacy of SmartFFR, a new functional index for assessing the severity of coronary stenosis, was evaluated and compared with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). The results showed a significant correlation between SmartFFR and invasive FFR values, indicating that SmartFFR can accurately and rapidly assess the hemodynamic significance of coronary stenosis.
