Table 2 CRF for assessment of epicardial coronary artery stenosis
| • Functional assessment of intermediate stenosis (40–70%) |
|---|
| • Detection of critical stenosis (>90%) |
| • Combined assessment of coronary flow and wall motion |
| • Monitoring the changes of CFR in the early, post-PTCA period to detect artery occlusion, microvascular stunning |
| • Serial CFR examination after PTCA to predict restenosis |
| • Postinfarction coronary flow reserve assessment |
| • Assessment of coronary graft patency |
