Impact of Epicardial plaQUe Composition and geomeTry on Coronary hEmodynamics and Flow in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (iEquate)
iFR-FFR discordance is common, and impaired vasodilatory capacity (assessed using CFR) may account for some of these cases. In this study, calcific plaque was associated with discordance, while other OCT-derived plaque morphological characteristics were not associated with invasive coronary physiology findings. Cross-sectional plaque eccentricity is associated with lower FFR values.
