iFR Research
Back to Projects
Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a physiological index used to assess the severity of coronary artery stenoses. Our research focuses on advancing the application of iFR to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
By utilizing iFR, clinicians can make more informed decisions regarding the necessity of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without the need for hyperemic agents, thereby reducing patient discomfort and procedure time.
Recent Developments
- Validation of iFR in specific patient subgroups.
- Integration of iFR with advanced imaging modalities.
- Development of non-invasive iFR estimation techniques.
