Coronary resting gradients for hemodynamic lesion assessment - The future of coronary physiology?

Key Points

• Coronary resting gradient measurements with cut-off values of ≤0.87 and ≥0.93 portend a high degree of certainty with respect to appropriateness of coronary revascularization
• Less agreement exists in patients in the so called indeterminate “gray zone”
• Pressure-bounded coronary flow reserve may aid in our understanding of the underlying physiologic principles and facilitate the clinical assessment of these lesions
