Validating angiographically derived FFR in the NSTEMI patient: An important step forward

Key Points Despite concerns of altered physiology impacting fractional flow reserve (FFR) values in acute coronary syndrome, angiographic FFR compared with wire‐based FFR in patients with NSTEMI demonstrated excellent correlations. Limits to the accuracy of FFRangio include the need for optimal angi...

Description
Summary:	Key Points Despite concerns of altered physiology impacting fractional flow reserve (FFR) values in acute coronary syndrome, angiographic FFR compared with wire‐based FFR in patients with NSTEMI demonstrated excellent correlations. Limits to the accuracy of FFRangio include the need for optimal angiographic angles to avoid vessel overlap and assumptions for myocardial resistance, mass, and blood flow. Clinical outcome studies will be required before FFRangio becomes a standard of care.
