Why the study?
Assessment of coronary physiology combined with invasive angiography has potential diagnostic value in patients with chest pain, but its current and future clinical roles require review.
This review summarizes the rationale, evidence base, and clinical utility of coronary physiology assessments (FFR, CFR, IMR) in patients with stable CAD and ACS.
Assessment of coronary physiology has potential diagnostic value when combined with invasive angiography for the assessment and treatment of patients presenting with chest pain. In this article, we review the rationale and evidence base f r the measurement of fractional flow reserve, coronary flow reserve and the index f microvascular resistance in stable coronary artery disease and in acute c r nary syndromes. The current and future role of these physiological tests in utine clinical practice is also considered.

Corcoran et al. (2015) conducted a review in Stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes. Assessment of coronary physiology (fractional flow reserve, coronary flow reserve, index of microvascular resistance) was evaluated.
