Coronary Angiography/FFR-iFR
Angiography can be considered when chest pain occurs, non-invasive examinations suggest ischemia, or the diagnosis is unclear. For moderate or multi-vessel disease, functional assessment (FFR/iFR) helps to determine whether stenosis leads to ischemia and is used to plan pathways such as drugs, PCI,

How Coronary Angiography/FFR-iFR is performed
This examination usually involves inserting a catheter into the opening of the coronary artery through a percutaneous arterial approach, and injecting contrast agent to obtain multi-angle images to understand the stenosis morphology. For borderline lesions, pressure guidewires are commonly used to measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) or instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), and intravascular ultrasound/OCT is combined if necessary to assist in judgment. After completion, the puncture site and heart rhythm are monitored. The goal is to clarify the anatomical and functional significance and provide a basis for subsequent treatment decisions. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
