Summary
Speaker: Dr Andrew Sharp, Royal Exeter and Devon NHS Trust, UK
Andrew Sharp discusses the role of coronary physiology in management of patients in 2015.
Key Learning Points:
- 1. Pressure wire measurements simplify PCI and identify patients with flow limiting lesion
- 2. iFR can be performed routinely to simplify physiological assessment
- 3. Case histories to illustrate routine use of iFR/FFR in complex coronary disease
Simple Education, is a leading provider of coronary physiology and intracoronary imaging courses to aid treatment of complex coronary artery disease.

Prof Andrew Sharp qualified from Edinburgh Medical School in 1998 and is Professor of Cardiology... Prof Andrew Sharp qualified from Edinburgh Medical School in 1998 and is Professor of Cardiology at the University Hospital of Wales and Cardiff University in the U.K. He conducted his early training at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, before moving to London for his senior clinical training. He completed the prestigious Milan-Imperial Interventional Cardiology Fellowship programme, having spent a year in San Raffaele and Columbus Hospitals, Milan, Italy, under the tutelage of Professor Antonio Colombo. He also spent three years training in interventional cardiology at Imperial College Hospitals in London. Prof Sharp was awarded an MD postgraduate research degree from the University of Edinburgh for his work on the hypertensive heart and his research interests include intracoronary imaging and physiology. as well as the use of device-based treatments for hypertension and pulmonary embolism.
