A total of 290 patients with ACS were enrolled in this study. The clinical characteristics and MACE were recorded. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the FIB level (odds ratio=7.798, 95%CI, 3.44–17.676, P<0.001) and SYNTAX score (odds ratio=1.034, 95%CI, 1.001–1.069, P=0.041) were independent predictors of MACE. On the basis of the regression coefficient for FIB, the ACEF-FIB was developed. The area under the ROC of the ACEF-FIB scoring system in predicting MACE after PCI was 0.753 (95%CI 0.688–0.817, P<0.001), a value greater than those for the ACEF score, SYNTAX score and Grace score (0.627, 0.637 and 0.570, respectively).

ACEF-FIB had better discrimination ability than the other risk scores, according to ROC curve analysis, net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement.

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Coronary physiology assessment is an important factor in guiding myocardial revascularization. A growing body of research highlights the value of using fractional flow reserve, FFR and other pressure-based indicators for functional assessment of stable coronary stenoses. Invasive functional coronary assessment techniques have evolved from intracoronary wire-based to wire-free approaches as a result of technological advancements. In addition, several software programs on the market have been thoroughly investigated and validated against invasive FFR, and have shown good accuracy and correlation. However, use of FFR remains modest.

This article provides an overview of angiography-based FFR solutions and compares their technologies. Additionally, a systematic scoping review was performed to understand the research landscape in wire-free coronary physiology assessment, to complement the narratives of existing FFR trials on wire-free FFR. Furthermore, future developments and strategies that could expand the use of wire-free computed coronary functional assessment in the Asia Pacific region are discussed.
