Measurements to Assess Severity of Epicardial Stenoses

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Device: FFR/CFR and IVUS
Registration Number
NCT00760630
Lead Sponsor
University of Cincinnati
Brief Summary

Newly developed diagnostic parameters have potential to differentiate between epicardial disease and microvascular dysfunction with the help of anatomical details and physiological endpoints and can be used in present clinical settings.

Detailed Description

The pressure drop coefficient (CDP) is a functional index based on hyperemic dp and u measurements. The lesion flow coefficient (LFC) combines the functional index CDP with an atomic measure (percentage area stenosis) as a single parameter.
