Speaker: Dr Justin Davies, Imperial College London, UK
Justin Davies discusses the studies which have assessed the diagnostic performance of iFR (Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio) against FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) against other gold standards including PET (Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT (Single-photon emission computed tomography), CFR (Coronary Flow Reserve), and HSR (Hyperaemic Stenosis Resistance).
Key learning points:
- 1. iFR and FFR has almost identical diagnostic accuracy
- 2. iFR is more closely related to flow than FFR
- 3. Clinical outcome studies like DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR SwedeHeart will further define the value of iFR

Dr Justin Davies is a honorary interventional cardiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College NHS Trust, London. After training at Imperial College, he won a prestigious BHF research fellowship to study arterial haemodynamics. Since then he has continued to work on the development of mathematical algorithms to aid understanding of large artery physiology and to develop new tools to assess arterial disease. The holder of several patents, he has published widely in the field of hypertension, coronary and large artery physiology and is the winner of many national and international awards. He has several international collaborations, and is the developer of iFR and the co-principal investigator of the ADVISE studies, the DEFINE-FLAIR, ORBITA and DEFINE-PCI studies. Justin also has an interest in renal denervation, and has lead the first-in-man studies to evaluate the safety of this technique to patients with chronic systolic heart failure (REACH studies).
