Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement
Overview
The cardiology department of Aster Hospitals enlists several advanced medical facilities, including the fractional flow reserve testing. Experienced cardiac surgeons and interventional radiologists help to diagnose severe blockages in the coronary arteries via this test.
FFR is a minimally invasive procedure to measure the stenosis (narrowing) in the coronary arteries. This procedure indicates how severe the blockage is by comparing the highest possible blood flow to the arteries without and with stenosis.
FFR is part of the test done during the coronary angiogram or coronary catheterization to plan the course of treatment for the patient.
