Abstract
Pressure derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a well-validated index to assess functional significance of stenosis severity that has evolved from a physiological index to a clinical tool. The objective of this paper is to provide a short overview of the theoretical and physiological background of this physiological assessment technique and to focus on its clinical applicability in both diagnostic and interventional procedures.
