Impact of aging on the effects of intracoronary adenosine, peak hyperemia and its duration during fractional flow reserve assessment

Introduction Functional assessment of coronary stenoses is crucial for determining the correct therapeutic strategy. Age-related modifications in cardiovascular function could alter the functional significance of an intermediate coronary lesion. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in patients with intermediate coronary artery disease. Methods We included...
