At Piyu’s Hridhay Sanjeevani Rhythm Clinic, precise diagnosis is the key to effective treatment. One of the most advanced techniques in interventional cardiology is Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), a minimally invasive method that accurately assesses the severity of blockages in the coronary arteries.
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is a specialized diagnostic technique used during coronary angiography to evaluate the functional significance of arterial blockages. It measures the pressure difference across a narrowed artery to determine if the blockage is restricting blood flow to the heart. Traditional angiography provides a visual representation of blockages, but it does not always reveal how significantly they impact blood circulation. FFR goes beyond imaging by offering a real-time physiological assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). This revolutionary technique ensures patients receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for their heart health.
FFR is expressed as a ratio of pressure distal to lesion and pressure proximal to lesion:
By providing precise, data-driven insights, FFR ensures that only critically narrowed arteries receive intervention, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
Unlike conventional angiography, which relies on visual interpretation, FFR provides an objective, data-driven assessment of coronary artery blockages. This ensures that patients receive treatment only when truly needed, preventing unnecessary procedures.
Many patients undergo stenting procedures even when their blockages do not significantly restrict blood flow. FFR eliminates this uncertainty, reducing the overuse of stents and ensuring only critical cases are treated.
Patients treated based on FFR-guided decisions experience better long-term results, with lower rates of complications, repeat procedures, and hospital readmissions.
Since FFR is performed during a routine angiography, it does not require additional complex procedures. It is safe, painless, and provides immediate, actionable insights to guide treatment.
FFR is recommended for patients who-
