The Future of Coronary Imaging and Physiology-Discussion: Physiology Pathway

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a discussion is taking place about the methodology for conducting physiology testing in a lab. Alyssa mentions that she conducts IFR prior to FFR in every lesion and tries to administer peripheral adenosine. Getting buy-in from staff for post-IFR can be challenging, but if there's a second lesion that doesn't require treatment, she performs it in the middle and determines the next steps afterward. Evan shares a similar algorithm, noting that if the resting index is negative, the decision to proceed with FFR depends on the value and clinical situation. The importance of measuring before and after is emphasized, as something significant is likely found in one out of five cases. The video credits are not provided.
