Atherosclerotic Plaque Characteristics by CT Angiography Identify Coronary Lesions That Cause Ischemia: a Direct Comparison to Fractional Flow Reserve

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the association between atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (APCs) by coronary CT angiography (CT) and lesion ischemia by fractional flow reserve (FFR). BACKGROUND: FFR is the gold standard for determining lesion ischemia. While APCs by CT—including aggregate plaque volume...
