Diagnosis of relative contributions of large artery blockages and microvascular blockages is very much needed in the treatment of coronary artery disease. In order to achieve this, two novel parameters, pressure drop coefficient (CDP), which combines flow and pressure readings and Lesion flow coefficient (LFC), which combines anatomical details of the lesion with pressure and flow readings, are being investigated. The diagnostic parameters will be correlated with Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR)values obtained using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. They will also be correlated with Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR).
