Description

Kristian Taekker Madsen and coauthors published a 2025 prospective study on whether completing artery-opening treatment, judged by a CT-based blood flow measure, predicts long-term outcomes in stable chest pain. Nine hundred patients with new stable angina and at least one narrowing of thirty percent or more on CT scanning were followed for a median of seven years.

Flow reserve values were computed for every vessel from the CT images. Patients counted as completely revascularized had every flow-limiting vessel treated. The long follow-up lets the authors test whether the early outcome advantage of complete treatment persists, and whether a non-invasive definition can substitute for invasive pressure wires. The multicenter design spans several European heart centers, strengthening the generalizability of any prognostic signal.
