    Abstract: Recently, resting pressure–derived indexes such as resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) have been introduced to assess the functional significance of epicardial coronary stenosis. The present study sought to investigate the agreement of RFR or dPR with other pressure-derived indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve), the sensitivity of RFR or dPR for anatomic or hemodynamic stenosis severity, and the prognostic implications of RFR or dPR compared with iFR Methods: RFR and dPR were calculated from resting pressure tracings by an independent core laboratory in 1024 vessels (435 patients). The changes in resting physiological indexes according to diameter stenosis were compared among iFR, RFR, and dPR. Among 115 patients who underwent 13 N-ammonia positron emission tomography, the changes in those indexes according to basal and hyperemic stenosis resistance and absolute hyperemic myocardial blood flow were compared. The association between resting physiological indexes and the risk of 2-year vessel-oriented composite outcomes (a composite of cardiac death, vessel-related myocardial infarction, and vessel-related ischemia-driven revascularization) was analyzed among 864 deferred vessels. Results: Both RFR and dPR showed a significant correlation with iFR ( R =0.979, P 〈 0.001 for RFR; and R =0.985, P 〈 0.001 for dPR), which was higher than that with fractional flow reserve ( R =0.822, P 〈 0.001; and R =0.819, P 〈 0.001, respectively). RFR and dPR showed a very high agreement with iFR (C index, 0.987 and 0.993). Percent difference of iFR, RFR, and dPR according to the increase in anatomic and hemodynamic severity was almost identical. The diagnostic performance of iFR, RFR, and dPR was not different in the prediction of myocardial ischemia defined by both low hyperemic myocardial blood flow and low coronary flow reserve by 13 N-ammonia positron emission tomography. All resting physiological indexes showed significant association with the risk of 2-year vessel-oriented composite outcomes (iFR per 0.1 increase: hazard ratio, 0.514 [95% CI, 0.370–0.715], P 〈 0.001; RFR per 0.1 increase: hazard ratio, 0.524 [95% CI, 0.378–0.725], P 〈 0.001; dPR per 0.1 increase: hazard ratio, 0.587 [95% CI, 0.436–0.791], P 〈 0.001) in deferred vessels. Conclusions: All resting pressure–derived physiological indexes (iFR, RFR, and dPR) can be used as invasive tools to guide treatment strategy in patients with coronary artery disease.

    Abstract: Sex‐specific differences may influence prognosis after deferred revascularization following fractional flow reserve ( FFR ) measurement. This study sought to investigate the sex differences in long‐term prognosis of patients with deferred revascularization following FFR assessment. Methods and Results A total of 879 patients (879 vessels) with deferred revascularization with FFR 〉 0.75 who underwent FFR and coronary flow reserve measurements were enrolled from 3 countries (Korea, Japan, and Spain). Long‐term outcomes were assessed in 649 men and 230 women by the patient‐oriented composite outcome ( POCO , a composite of any death, any myocardial infarction, and any revascularization). We applied inverse‐probability weighting based on propensity scores to account for differences at baseline between women and men (age, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, diameter stenosis, lesion length, multivessel disease, FFR , coronary flow reserve. The median follow‐up duration was 1855 days (745–1855 days). Median FFR values were 0.88 (0.83–0.93) in men and 0.89 (0.85–0.94) in women, respectively. The occurrences of POCO were significantly high in men compared with that in women (10.5% versus 4.2%, P =0.007). Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that women had a significantly lower risk of POCO (χ 2 =7.2, P =0.007). Multivariate COX proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that age, male, diabetes mellitus, diameter stenosis, lesion length, and coronary flow reserve were independent predictors of POCO . After applying IPW , the hazard ratio of males for POCO was 2.07 (95% CI, 1.07–4.04, P =0.032). Conclusions This large multinational study reveals that long‐term outcome differs between women and men in favor of women after FFR ‐guided revascularization deferral.

    Abstract: Data are limited regarding outcomes of deferred lesions in patients with angiographically insignificant stenosis but low fractional flow reserve ( FFR ). We investigated the natural history of angiographically insignificant stenosis with low FFR among patients who underwent routine 3‐vessel FFR measurement. Methods and Results From December 2011 to March 2014, 1136 patients with 3298 vessels underwent routine 3‐vessel FFR measurement (3V FFR ‐ FRIENDS study, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT 01621438), and this study analyzed the 2‐year clinical outcomes of 1024 patients with 2124 lesions with angiographically insignificant stenosis (percentage of diameter stenosis 〈 50%), in which revascularization was deferred. All lesions were classified according to FFR values, using a cutoff of 0.80 (high FFR 〉 0.80 versus low FFR ≤0.80). The primary end point was outcome of major adverse cardiovascular events (a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia‐driven revascularization) at 2 years. Mean angiographic percentage of diameter stenosis and FFR of total lesions were 32.5±10.3% and 0.91±0.08%, respectively. Among the total lesions with angiographically insignificant stenosis, 8.7% showed low FFR (185 lesions). The incidence of lesions with low FFR was 2.5%, 3.8%, 9.0%, and 15.1% in categories of percentage of diameter stenosis 〈 20%, 20% to 30%, 30% to 40%, and 40% to 50%, respectively. At 2‐year follow‐up, the low‐ FFR group showed a significantly higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events compared with the high FFR group (3.3% versus 1.2%, hazard ratio: 3.371; 95% CI, 1.346–8.442; P =0.009). In multivariable analysis, low FFR was the most powerful independent predictor of future MACE in deferred lesions with angiographically insignificant stenosis (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.617; 95% CI , 1.026–6.679; P =0.044). Conclusions In deferred angiographically insignificant stenosis, lesions with low FFR showed significantly higher event rates than those with high FFR . FFR was an independent predictor of future major adverse cardiovascular events in lesions with angiographically insignificant stenosis.

    Abstract: Quantitative flow ratio ( QFR ) has a high diagnostic accuracy in assessing functional stenoses relevance, as judged by fractional flow reserve ( FFR ). However, its diagnostic performance has not been thoroughly evaluated using instantaneous wave‐free ratio ( iFR ) or coronary flow reserve as the reference standard. This study sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of QFR using other reference standards beyond FFR . Methods and Results We analyzed 182 patients (253 vessels) with stable ischemic heart disease and 82 patients (105 nonculprit vessels) with acute myocardial infarction in whom coronary stenoses were assessed with FFR , iFR, and coronary flow reserve. Contrast QFR analysis of interrogated vessels was performed in blinded fashion by a core laboratory, and its diagnostic performance was evaluated with respect to the other invasive physiological indices. Mean percentage diameter stenosis, FFR , iFR , coronary flow reserve, and QFR were 53.1±19.0%, 0.80±0.13, 0.88±0.12, 3.14±1.30, and 0.81±0.14, respectively. QFR showed higher correlation ( r =0.863 with FFR versus 0.740 with iFR , P 〈 0.001), diagnostic accuracy (90.8% versus 81.3%, P 〈 0.001), and discriminant function (area under the curve=0.953 versus 0.880, P 〈 0.001) when FFR was used as a reference standard than when iFR was used as the reference standard. However, when coronary flow reserve was used as an independent reference standard, FFR , iFR , and QFR showed modest discriminant function (area under the curve=0.682, 0.765, and 0.677, respectively) and there were no significant differences in diagnostic accuracy among FFR , iFR , and QFR (65.4%, 70.6%, and 64.9%; all P values in pairwise comparisons 〉 0.05, overall comparison P =0.061). Conclusions QFR has a high correlation and agreement with respect to both FFR and iFR , although it is better when FFR is used as the comparator. As a pressure‐derived index not depending on wire or adenosine, QFR might be a promising tool for improving the adoption rate of physiology‐based revascularization in clinical practice.

    Abstract: Understanding of the risk conferred by functionally insignificant lesions in multiple coronary vessels is limited. We investigated the prognostic implications of coronary artery disease ( CAD ) based on 3‐vessel fractional flow reserve ( FFR ). Methods and Results A total of 1,136 patients underwent FFR measurement in the 3 major epicardial arteries. We defined vessels with “Moderate CAD ” as vessels with FFR , 0.81 to 0.87. Patients were classified into Group 1: No apparent CAD ( FFR 〉 0.87 in all 3‐vessels); Group 2: Single‐vessel moderate CAD ; Group 3: Multivessel moderate CAD ; and Group 4: Functionally significant CAD ( FFR ≤0.80) in any vessel. The primary end point was 2‐year major adverse cardiac events, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia‐driven revascularization. Forty‐three percent of patients had moderate CAD (Group 2: 403/1136, 35.5%; Group 3: 84/1136, 7.4%). The 2‐year risk of major adverse cardiac events was not significantly different between patients with single‐vessel moderate CAD and no apparent CAD (2.6 versus 2.6%; HR , 1.1; 95% confidence interval, 0.4%–2.8%; P =0.89). However, patients with multivessel moderate CAD were at significantly higher risk than Group 1 (7.4 versus 2.6%; hazard ratio, 3.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.1%–9.8%; P =0.03). The risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with multivessel moderate CAD was comparable to that of patients with functionally significant CAD (hazard ratio, 1.2; 95% confidence interval, 0.5%–3.0%; P =0.67). In a multivariable regression model, multivessel moderate CAD was an independent predictor of greater risk of 2‐year major adverse cardiac events. Conclusions Global physiologic assessment with FFR measurement of 3 vessels can identify multivessel moderate CAD . The prognostic implication of multivessel moderate CAD appears comparable to that of functionally significant CAD . Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

    Abstract: Resistive reserve ratio is a thermodilution‐based index which integrates both coronary flow and pressure. Resistive reserve ratio represents the vasodilatory capacity of interrogated vessels including both epicardial coronary artery and microvascular circulation. We evaluated the prognostic potential of resistive reserve ratio compared with pressure‐derived index (fractional flow reserve [ FFR ]) or flow‐derived index (coronary flow reserve [ CFR ]). Methods and Results A total of 1245 patients underwent coronary pressure and flow measurement using pressure‐temperature wire. Resistive reserve ratio was calculated by CFR adjusted using the ratio between resting and hyperemic distal coronary pressure ([resting mean transit time/hyperemic mean transit time]×[resting distal coronary pressure/hyperemic distal coronary pressure] ). Clinical outcome was assessed by patient‐oriented composite outcome ( POCO ), a composite of any death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization at 5 years. At 5 years, the cumulative incidence of POCO was significantly different according to quartiles of resistive reserve ratio (9.9%, 11.3%, 17.2%, and 22.7% in quartiles 1 to 4, respectively, log rank P 〈 0.001). Among patients with deferred revascularization, those with depressed resistive reserve ratio ( 〈 3.5) showed a significantly higher risk of POCO than those with preserved resistive reserve ratio (≥3.5) in patients with FFR 〉 0.80 or patients with CFR 〉 2.0. ( FFR 〉 0.80 group: 14.8% versus 6.0%; log rank P =0.001; CFR 〉 2.0 group: 13.5% versus 7.1%; log rank P =0.045). Adding resistive reserve ratio into the model for 5‐year POCO showed significantly higher global Chi square value than FFR or CFR ( P 〈 0.001, respectively, for FFR and CFR ). Resistive reserve ratio 〈 3.5 was significantly associated with the risk of POCO at 5 years in multivariable model (adjusted hazard ratio 1.597, 95% CI , 1.098–2.271, P =0.014). Conclusions Resistive reserve ratio, which integrated both coronary flow and pressure, showed incremental prognostic implications in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention guided by invasive physiologic evaluation.

    Abstract: Total atherosclerosis disease burden is associated with clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the influence of sex on the relationship between total anatomical and physiologic disease burdens and their prognostic implications have not been well defined. Methods and Results A total of 1136 patients who underwent fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in all 3 major coronary arteries were included in this study. Anatomical and physiologic total disease burden was assessed by SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score, residual SYNTAX score, a total sum of FFR in 3 vessels (3‐vessel FFR), and functional SYNTAX score. The primary end point was major adverse cardiac events, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia‐driven revascularization at 2 years. There were no differences in angiographic diameter stenosis, SYNTAX score, or residual SYNTAX score between women and men. However, both per‐vessel FFR (0.89±0.10 versus 0.87±0.11, P 〈 0.001) and 3‐vessel FFR (2.72±0.13 versus 2.69±0.15, P 〈 0.001) were higher in women. Multivariable Cox regression analyses showed that total anatomical and physiologic disease burdens were significantly associated with 2‐year major adverse cardiac events, and there was no significant interaction between sex and total disease burden for clinical outcomes. Conclusions Despite similar angiographic disease severity, both per‐vessel and per‐patient physiologic disease severity was less in women than in men. There was no influence of sex on prognostic implications of total anatomical and physiologic disease burdens in patients with coronary artery disease.
