Practical Application of Coronary Physiological Assessment

Coronary physiological assessment is performed to measure coronary pressure, flow, and resistance or their surrogates to enable the selection of appropriate management strategy and its optimization for patients with coronary artery disease. The value of physiological assessment is supported by a large body of clinical data that has led to major recommendations in all practice guidelines. This expert consensus document aims to convey practical and balanced recommendations and future perspectives for coronary physiological assessment for physicians and patients in the Asia-Pacific region, based on updated information in the field that includes both wire- and image-based physiological assessment. This is Part 2 of the whole consensus document, which provides theoretical and practical information on physiological indexes for specific clinical conditions and patient statuses.
