Prognostic Role of Functional SYNTAX Score Based on Quantitative Flow Ratio.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

The quantitative flow ratio (QFR)-based functional Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score (FSSQFR) combines coronary arteries' anatomy and physiology.

Methods

We performed an offline FSSQFR calculation in all-comers undergoing coronary angiography in a single center. Based on the tertiles of SYNTAX Score (SS), patients were divided into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups with the following cut-offs: SS/FSSQFR < 13, SS/FSSQFR: 13-21, and SS/FSSQFR: >21. The primary endpoint was the predictive value of the FSSQFR of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, and life-threatening arrhythmias after the
