However, it has been found that the body&#8217;s mechanism for regulating cardiac blood flow is complex, and it is difficult to judge this solely by the &#8216;appearance (stenosis rate)&#8217; on images obtained from catheter examination. For example, even if two lesions have the same stenosis rate of 50%, the severity of blood flow reduction due to stenosis may differ depending on the length of the lesion and the amount of myocardium downstream. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to decide whether to place a stent in a narrowed coronary artery lesion based on the &#8216;rate of blood flow reduction&#8217; rather than the &#8216;appearance&#8217;. The examination to measure this blood flow is called FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) examination, which can measure how much blood flow is reduced before and after the lesion by inserting a special wire into the coronary artery and measuring the pressure inside the vessel before and after the narrowed lesion.<\/p><p>Recently, as an alternative to the conventional wire-based blood flow measurement, coronary blood flow analysis software has been developed. A representative example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiovascularcenter.luke.ac.jp\/en\/qfr\/\">quantitative flow ratio (QFR)<\/a> software, which is also implemented in our hospital.
