Registry for assessing QFR analysis in coronary artery disease
Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases "Dedinje" Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) Registry
Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases Dedinje · NCT06659367
This study is testing if a new method called QFR for checking blood flow in heart arteries can be used effectively by less experienced doctors during routine procedures for patients with coronary artery disease.

What this trial studies
This registry aims to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) analysis conducted by inexperienced medical users in a real-world setting, using Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) as the gold standard. The study will include patients over 18 years old who undergo clinically indicated FFR procedures at the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases 'Dedinje'. The focus is on understanding how well QFR can be performed outside of specialized core labs, particularly by those with limited experience. The findings could provide insights into the reliability of QFR in everyday clinical practice.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who are undergoing clinically indicated FFR procedures.
Not a fit: Patients who decline to participate and provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease assessments in clinical settings.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results for QFR analysis, but this registry focuses on its application by inexperienced users, making it a novel approach.
