Summary
This study found that post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) quantitative flow ratio (QFR) better predicts fractional flow reserve (FFR) than residual QFR. Improved algorithms may enable post-PCI QFR for quality control, reducing angina and adverse outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular medicine
- Medical imaging
- Interventional cardiology
Background:
- Accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
- Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for assessing lesion significance, but it is invasive.
- Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) derived from angiography offers a non-invasive alternative.

280
Rapidly varying flow (RVF) in open channels is characterized by abrupt changes in flow depth over a short distance, with the rate of depth change relative to distance often approaching unity. These flows are inherently complex due to their transient and multi-dimensional nature, making exact analysis difficult. However, approximate solutions using simplified models provide valuable insights into their behavior.Key Features of Rapidly Varying FlowRVF is commonly observed in scenarios involving...

1.8K
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...
