FFR assessment

Rethink FFR assessment for every patientAdvanced solutions for Fractional Flow Reserve

Cardiovascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year1) – 52.5% of which are attributed to coronary heart disease.2) Consequently, related symptoms are taken very seriously: In patients with suspected coronary heart disease, the presence of a stenosis has to be verified, its extent assessed, and the need for revascularization determined.

What do you think?

In how many cases would visual lesion assessment have resulted in a wrong stenting decision?

Make confident decisions when assessing FFR

Accurately measure pressure differences across a stenosis, confidently assess its hemodynamic significance, and make confident decisions for all patients. From catheter-based Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) assessment to image-based Angio-FFR3) and noninvasive CT FFR: Our portfolio has the right solution for every patient with coronary artery disease. Because as your partner for FFR, we are committed to supporting you in making competent decisions and improving patient outcomes by expanding precision medicine.
