Prognostic value of transthoracic coronary flow reserve (T-CFR) is not established in patients with left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis of intermediate severity. Objective is to determine the prognosis value of T-CFR>2 in medically treated patients with angiographically intermediate [50-70% QCA (quantitative coronary angiography)] proximal LAD stenosis.
