Heart Failure: Really Idiopathic?

2016

Coronary angiography is necessary in the differential diagnosis of a newly discovered heart failure, which may be caused by multivessel disease and/or stenoses of major vessels. However, angiography is associated with a relatively high percentage of false negative findings in the assessment of left main disease. FFR allows unveiling these false negatives, even though special precautions need to be taken when stenoses are present also in the bifurcation branches.
