FiRST: Fractional Flow Reserve and Instantaneous Free-wave Ratio Revascularization Strategies in Women
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A real world study to evaluate outcomes in women based on guideline identified fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) cutoffs for ischemia (ischemia defined as FFR ≤ 0.80 and iFR ≤ 0.89).

Detailed Description
The WOMEN FiRST (FFR iFR Revascularization Strategies Trial) study collects information from enrolled subjects to create a data repository. The data will be used to further elucidate recommendations for PCI of angiographically intermediate lesions (30-90% stenosis) in epicardial lesions in women by comparing FFR and iFR findings to findings of inducible ischemia on existing non-invasive stress imaging studies. Gender comparisons will also be made from archived and published research data sets from studies comprised up to 80% men. Data will also be stored long term for use in future undefined analyses.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Women Presenting with Cardiac Ischemia Women presenting with cardiac ischemia as indicated by standard of care non-invasive stress testing with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), SPECT myocardial perfusion, and PET myocardial perfusion imaging. This cohort of women must also meet the clinical criteria to undergo coronary angiography. Women may be approached for consent either before or after their coronary angiography procedure. |
Other: No study intervention
The study does not determine any interventions. Any intervention performed during coronary angiography is considered standard of care.
