Abstract

Background

Measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) by intravenous infusion or intracoronary injection of adenosine is the reference method to determine the hemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. The goal of this prospective study was to compare standard (40 µg adenosine for the right and 80 µg for the left coronary artery) to high doses of intracoronary adenosine for FFR measurement.

Methods and results

In 130 intermediate coronary artery stenoses, two sequential FFR measurements were performed with standard-dose intracoronary application of adenosine (40 µg for the right and 80 μg for the left coronary artery), followed by one FFR measurement with a bolus of 200 μg for the right and 400 μg for the left coronary artery. There was strong correlation (r = 0.97, p < 0.001) between FFR values determined with standard-dose adenosine (0.86 ± 0.08) versus high-dose adenosine (0.85 ± 0.08). High-dose adenosine did not yield FFR values ≤0.80 or ≤0.75 significantly more frequently than standard-dose adenosine. Patients reported more discomfort after high-dose adenosine application compared to standard-dose adenosine (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

For FFR measurements with intracoronary adenosine injection, results achieved with doses of 40 µg adenosine for the right and 80 µg for the left coronary artery display no clinically relevant difference to doses of 200 and 400 µg, respectively.

Worauf kommt es beim Management von Personen mit infektiöser Endokarditis an? Eine Kardiologin und ein Kardiologe fassen die zehn wichtigsten Punkte der neuen ESC-Leitlinie zusammen.

Strenge Blutdruckeinstellung lohnt auch im Alter noch

30.04.2024 Arterielle Hypertonie Nachrichten

Ältere Frauen, die von chronischen Erkrankungen weitgehend verschont sind, haben offenbar die besten Chancen, ihren 90. Geburtstag zu erleben, wenn ihr systolischer Blutdruck < 130 mmHg liegt. Das scheint selbst für 80-Jährige noch zu gelten.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Dihydropyridin-Kalziumantagonisten können auf die Nieren gehen

30.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Im Vergleich zu anderen Blutdrucksenkern sind Kalziumantagonisten vom Diyhdropyridin-Typ mit einem erhöhten Risiko für eine Mikroalbuminurie und in Abwesenheit eines RAS-Blockers auch für ein terminales Nierenversagen verbunden.
