Key Points DM patients with stenoses whose FFR > 0.80 have a relatively high 14% rate of deferred lesion failure (i.e., revascularization or MI). IDDM and prior revascularization were independent predictors of deferred lesion failure FFR predicts outcomes, but is a less effective predictor in diabetics due to diffuse atherosclerosis microvascular disease.
