New heart test cuts major cardiac events by better targeting blockages
NCT ID NCT01881555
Summary
This study compared two approaches for treating patients with multiple blocked heart arteries. Doctors either used standard imaging alone or combined it with a special pressure test (FFR) to decide which blockages truly needed treatment with stents or bypass surgery. The goal was to see which method better prevented heart attacks, strokes, or death over one year in 941 adults with heart disease.
