Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Interventional Cardiology
Physiological Measurement

Background:

The definition of significant coronary stenosis is evolving with the advent of invasive physiological assessment.
Cardiac catheterisation laboratories now utilize functional testing to evaluate coronary physiology.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the fundamental concepts of functional testing in cardiac catheterisation.
To outline the primary applications of physiological measurements for interventional cardiologists.

Main Methods:

Invasive functional testing involves recording blood pressure, flow, or velocity during cardiac catheterisation.
Assessment focuses on epicardial arteries and their corresponding myocardial territories.

Main Results:

Physiological testing is valuable in complex cases like multivessel disease, bifurcation lesions, and diffuse atherosclerosis.
Deferring revascularisation based on functional indices can reduce adverse cardiac events.
Post-angioplasty and stent implantation measurements can optimize results and patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

Functional testing offers critical information beyond traditional angiography.
It aids in decision-making for revascularisation and optimizing interventional procedures.
This approach enhances patient management and clinical outcomes in cardiology.
