Gender‐Based Specificities of Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement
Female patients show higher FFR values across different DS thresholds compared to male patients. A DS ≥ 50% is the best threshold to identify ischemic FFR in both males and females. A higher threshold of DS (≥ 59%) is associated with a significant improvement in lesion classification, despite leading to increased false negatives rate.
