Summary
This study tests new methods to measure pressure, blood flow, and blockage size in heart arteries. Researchers want to see if these measurements can better identify which blockages are serious enough to cause heart damage. The study involves people with known or suspected coronary artery disease who are already scheduled for a heart catheterization.
