In the field of coronary revascularization, where identifying reversible myocardial ischemia is paramount, FFR and iFR are standard but underutilized due to various limitations. QFR, an angiography-derived method, emerges as a potential game-changer, providing functional assessment without additional wires or hyperemic agents and showcasing a shorter measurement time than invasive methods. In conclusion, the study, aligning with ongoing trials, suggests that a QFR-guided strategy could simplify, enhance safety, and cost-effectively guide revascularization decisions. Furthermore, the findings position QFR as a promising tool to boost the adoption of physiology-based revascularization in routine clinical practice.
