Background: Functional assessment of coronary artery obstruction is used in cardiology practice to correlate anatomic obstructions with flow decrease. Among such assessments, the study of the coronary fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become the most widely used.

Methods: Retrospective study of cases treated with systematized and standardized procedures for coronary disease […]
