RIPCORD: FFR during diagnostic angio may radically alter treatment plans

May 29, 2013 james rudd

Via theheart.org, an intriguing pilot study from Southampton, UK.

Nick Curzen, PI of the trial -

If a randomized trial shows the same results as RIPCORD, that may well be the end of non-interventional cardiologists doing diagnostic angiography

Or how about testing non-invasive FFR using CT angiography - and obviate the need for anyone to do diagnostic angiography?
