Researchers are testing whether a newer computer analysis method called QFR (Quantitative Flow Ratio) can accurately evaluate blockages in the heart's blood vessels, compared to the current gold-standard method called FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve). This study will train less experienced medical staff to use the QFR method and see if they get accurate results in everyday hospital practice, not just in specialized labs.
The new QFR analysis method shows promise in research studies, but it hasn't been thoroughly tested when used by regular hospital staff (not expert specialists) in normal clinical practice. This study aims to find out whether this treatment can reliably work in the real world and help doctors make better decisions about treating heart vessel blockages.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would undergo a standard FFR procedure as planned by your doctor at the hospital. After your procedure, researchers would perform an additional computer-based analysis (QFR) on your heart images offline to compare the results. Your participation involves allowing your medical data and images to be analyzed and recorded in a registry, but no extra procedures or hospital visits beyond your planned care.
