fractional flow reserve (FFR)

Established measures of coronary physiology. 
The fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index of epicardial 
coronary physiology and is measured during maximal 
hyperemia. The coronary flow reserve (CR) is a measure 
of both the epicardial and microvascular physiology and is 
expressed as the ratio of hyperemic to basal flow, simplified to the ratio of basal to hyperemic mean transit time. 
The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a spe- 
cific index of the microcirculation and is expressed as the 
product of Pd and mean transit time. Pw here indicates the 
coronary wedge pressure.
