Popis: Coronary lesions with low fractional flow reserve (FFR) are associated with higher rates of revascularization but not myocardial infarction (MI). High wall shear stress (WSS) has been associated with increased plaque vulnerability. We hypothesized that in patients with stable CAD and low FFR, high
