CFR Definition:
Coronary Flow

Ratio of maximal
Flow / resting Flow
Derived by pressure distal to the stenosis and aorta at the time of maximal
hyperemia induced by adenosine
FFR differs from FFR is unaffected by hemodynamics
CFR in 3 ways
Increased contractility increases

FFR is
unaffected by
systemic
pressure
FFR is unaffected by changing
Hypertension the basal flow parameters

CFR
Tachycardia will increase

Drugs used to induce hyperemia
Drug Dose Onset ½ Life Side E.
Papaverine 15mg LCA 30 – 60 s 2 min QT prolong
IC 10mg RCA TdP
-However, FFR does provide prognosis and can identify gross under deployment in
many patients.
