FFR in ACS? Should we stop doing it now that FLOWER-MI shows no apparent benefit. Good question from @drgprman. It's another French study casting some doubt over FFR in ACS, FUTURE being the first). Let's go through the previous data, as there are other FFR studies in ACS 1/x
Why the interest in FFR in ACS? Much of our work is now ACS patients so natural to ask if we can translate the success of FFR in stable patients into the ACS cohort.
Well, no data for the culprit in STEMI: get that vessel open!

#ISCHEMIA Thread: I gave a quick hot take during #AHA presentation & haven’t had time to expand on it. Queue some collected thoughts (albeit without gifs & references) on some responses I've seen to the study. Hats off to @alenghat for the great graphic on applying the study
@alenghat Be warned, I am being reductive and, some may say, provocative. You may not agree with me because you practice in a different way, your local system, and “in your experience etc”. Also, your test is better, I’m sure. Accepting that, read on. #ISCHEMIA
