Physiology-guided PCI leads to improved cardiovascular outcomes

Although angiography is commonly used for diagnosing coronary artery disease, it does not accurately capture plaque morphology and eccentricity of an epicardial stenosis. Angiography also fails to objectively understand the extent of ischemia.1

Physiological assessments allow physicians to evaluate the functional significance of coronary stenosis and have the following benefits2,3:

  • Coronary angiography is not accurate in 34% of cases compared to FFR4
  • FFR-guided PCI reduces MI compared to medical therapy alone5
  • All NHPR, including RFR, have similar outcomes and diagnostic performances3
