Abstract:
Accurate assessment of the degree of coronary artery stenosis is very important to guide the revascularization of patients with coronary heart disease. In recent years, functional assessment of the impact of coronary artery stenosis on the distal myocardium is changing the traditional concept of revascularization. The superiority of the fractional flow reserve(FFR) in guiding coronary interventional therapy has been widely verified in clinical practice. Due to its invasive operation, high cost, and high side effects of vasodilators during examinations, its application in my country is relatively limited. Quantitative flow ratio as a new, noninvasive, and rapid tool for assessing coronary stenosis, is being favored by researchers. This article reviews the clinical research progress of quantitative flow ratio and prospects its future clinical applications.
