FFR - Fractional Flow Reserve

FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) Test in Bhopal

Advanced FFR Assessment by Dr. Chandra Kumar Singh

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is an advanced diagnostic technique used during coronary angiography to determine whether a narrowed coronary artery is significantly reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. FFR helps cardiologists decide if a patient truly needs angioplasty with stenting or if treatment with medications is sufficient.

By accurately measuring the severity of coronary artery blockages, FFR enables precise, evidence-based treatment decisions and helps avoid unnecessary procedures. Dr. Chandra Kumar Singh, an experienced Interventional Cardiologist in Bhopal, provides advanced FFR-guided coronary assessment using modern cardiac technology for accurate diagnosis and personalized heart care.

What is FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve)?

Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed during coronary angiography. A thin pressure-sensitive guidewire is passed across a narrowed coronary artery to measure blood pressure before and after the blockage.

The FFR value indicates whether the blockage is limiting blood flow enough to require treatment. If the blood flow is significantly reduced, your cardiologist may recommend angioplasty with stent placement. If blood flow is adequate, medications and lifestyle modifications may be the most appropriate treatment.

FFR improves the accuracy of coronary artery disease diagnosis and supports better treatment planning.
