FFR/IFR: Measure Heart Function with Clarity
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio (IFR) are diagnostic techniques used to evaluate the severity of coronary artery blockages. These methods assess the flow of blood in arteries, helping to determine the need for intervention. At Shri Krishnasai Clinic, we offer FFR/IFR testing to ensure accurate decision-making for coronary procedures.
Using FFR and IFR, our specialists can better assess which blockages require treatment, reducing unnecessary procedures and improving patient outcomes. We provide thorough assessments and a personalized approach to each patient’s needs. Count on us for expert care backed by precise diagnostic tools.
What is Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR), and how does it help assess coronary artery function?
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is a technique used at Shri Krishnasai Clinic to measure the severity of coronary artery blockages and guide treatment decisions.
01
Measurement of Blood Flow
FFR measures the blood flow through coronary arteries, helping determine whether a blockage is affecting heart function.
02
Assessment of Blockage Severity
It provides an accurate, objective measurement of the significance of a blockage, helping clinicians decide whether it requires intervention.
03
Minimally Invasive
FFR is performed using a catheter, making it a minimally invasive procedure that provides critical data for treatment planning.
04
Guiding Stent Placement
FFR helps guide decisions regarding stent placement, ensuring it is used only when absolutely necessary for optimal patient outcomes.
05
Improved Treatment Decisions
Using FFR data, clinicians can make more informed decisions regarding treatment, which leads to improved results and fewer unnecessary interventions.
FFR is a vital tool in assessing coronary artery function, helping clinicians make precise treatment decisions that enhance patient care and heart health.
