Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio versus Fractional Flow Reserve to Guide PCI. The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is an index used to assess the severity of coro- nary-artery stenosis.
The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is an index used to assess the severity of coro- nary-artery stenosis. The index has been tested against fractional flow reserve (FFR) in small trials, and the two measures have been found to have similar diagnostic accu- racy. However, studies of clinical outcomes associated with the use of iFR are lacking. We aimed to evaluate whether iFR is noninferior to FFR with respect to the rate of subsequent major adverse cardiac events.
