Contains 15 practice-oriented topics IVUS-guided PCI; IVUS+OCT hybrid catheter system; OCT in vulnerable plaque and ACS; NIRS-guided PCI; serial monitoring of disease progression or regression; assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy; intravascular imaging-based physiologic assessment; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on intracoronary imaging and its use in interventional cardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

This issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, edited by Allen Jeremias, is devoted to Intravascular Physiology. Dr. Jeremias assembled a group of expert contributors to review the following topics: Evolution of Coronary Physiology – Basic Concepts of FFR and CFR; Concept of "Functional PCI" – The Rational for Physiologic Lesion Assessment for PCI Guidance; Limitations and Pitfalls of FFR and Adenosine-Induced Hyperemia; Evidence for the Use of FFR to Guide Clinical Decision-Making – The Landmark FFR Clinical Trials; Evaluation of Microvascular Disease and Clinical Outcomes; Hyperemic vs. Resting Indices for the Assessment of CAD; FFR for the Evaluation of Tandem and Bifurcations Lesions, Left Main, and Acute Coronary Syndromes; and CT-FFR: Basic Concept and Clinical Implementation.

In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Allen Jeremias brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Intracoronary Physiology and Its Use in Interventional Cardiology. Assessment of intra-coronary physiology can guide percutaneous coronary intervention and is often used for angiographically borderline stenoses. There is now increasing evidence to suggest that more routine use can improve clinical outcomes. In this issue, top experts bring you fully up to date in this key area of interventional cardiology.
