Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

understand the general principals and fundamentals of coronary physiology;
understand the indication, proper technique, pros and cons and interpretation of different coronary physiology indices for the evaluation of epicardial coronary stenosis to help guide the clinical decision making process in the catheterization laboratory; and
understand the indication, proper technique, pros and cons and interpretation of different coronary physiology indices for the evaluation of coronary microvascular disease when epicardial coronary stenosis has been ruled out.

This cased-based session will teach you everything you need to know on coronary physiology. Learn the proper technique and interpretation, pros and con and indications to performed wired and angiography-based indices for epicardial coronary stenosis and microvascular coronary disease.
