What can intracoronary pressure measurements tell us about flow reserve? Pressure‐Bounded coronary flow reserve and example application to the randomized DEFER trial

We propose a novel technique called pressure‐bounded coronary flow reserve (pb‐CFR) and demonstrate its application to the randomized DEFER trial.
