About this trial
This study aims to examine the correlation between Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) FFR Computed Tomography (CT) and invasive FFR in a real-world setting using retrospective analysis of existing data, providing practical insights directly applicable to patient care. By confirming or examining the accuracy of FFR CT in a clinical setting, our analysis could support its broader adoption as a routine non-invasive diagnostic tool potentially (a) reducing the need for invasive testing (b) minimising associated risks, and(c) lowering healthcare costs and provide fresh insights into non-invasive coronary diagnostics. Our findings will also help understand the relevance of these tests across different ethnic groups and the population we serve.
