The Effects of Right Atrial Pressure on Physiology Guided PCI: Not Just Painting by Numbers - Dr. Chris Cook

19 views

Summary


Speaker: Dr Chris Cook, Imperial College London, UK

Dr Chris Cook discusses the role of right atrial pressure in attaing the correct FFR measurement. 

Key learning points:

  • Right atiral pressure can significantly influence the value of FFR
  • Inclusion of right atrial pressure always lowers the FFR value
  • Right atrial pressure is usually set to a non-physiological 0mmHg which underestimates stenosis severity, and can lead to misclassification of stenosis severity.
