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.
