Brief Summary

Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR™) is a novel non-hyperaemic index of the functional significance of a coronary stenosis. Previous studies have shown variable levels of correlation with the established hyperaemic index FFR. In addition it has been proposed that iFR™ has superior diagnostic accuracy when compared to mean whole cardiac cycle Pd/Pa which can also be used to predict FFR. We plan to undertake a prospective clinical study in consecutive patients already undergoing FFR assessment in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory to compare the ability of iFR™ and Pd/Pa (both measured using the proprietary Volcano system) to predict FFR. We will explore the level of misclassification of flow limiting disease that results from use of iFR™ and resting Pd/Pa employed using either binary cut-off algorithms or in a hybrid decision making protocol. We plan to analyse 260 vessels over a 18 month period. Hyperaemia will be induced by intravenous adenosine (140 ug/kg/min) administered wherever possible via an antecubital vein. Intra-coronary nitrates will also be given in line with the standard care procedure for FFR measurement. Final clinical decisions following coronary physiology will be based on steady state FFR.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine the diagnostic accuracy of instantaneous wave-free ratio (binary cut-off value 0.90) versus resting Pd/Pa (binary cut-off value 0.92) in reference to FFR.

    Resting Pd/Pa will be compared to iFR™ in reference to FFR.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To determine the diagnostic accuracy of hybrid iFR™/FFR versus hybrid resting Pd/Pa/FFR in reference to FFR

    30 days

  • To compare steady state FFR to minimum FFR

    30 days

  • To investigate the influence of hyperemia on iFR™.

    30 days

  • To assess the rate of revascularization per (1) artery and (2) per patient, associated with iFR™-guided management vs. FFR-guided management.

    30 days

  • To assess serious adverse events in patients receiving intravenous adenosine

    30 days

Study Arms (1)

All patients

All patients will undergo coronary physiological study with measurement of resting Pd/Pa, iFR™, hyperaemic iFR and FFR.
