Functional Relevance of Coronary Artery Disease by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Cardiac Computed Tomography: Myocardial Perfusion and Fractional Flow Reserve

Figure 8

Clinical case of an intermediate risk patient symptomatic for chest pain. Panel (a) showed a multiplanar reconstruction of CCT showing an obstructive stenosis of the middle right coronary artery (red circle) and computed fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) value of 0.77, indicating vessel ischemia (Panel (b)). Invasive coronary angiography confirmed the obstructive stenosis of the middle portion of the right coronary artery (Panel (c), red circle) and measured fractional flow reserve (FFR) values of 0.76 (Panel (d), red circle). CCT: cardiac computed tomography.
