Measurements of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and/or coronary flow reserve (CFR) are widely used for hemodynamic characterization of coronary lesions. The frequent combination of the epicardial and microvascular disease may indicate a need for complex hemodynamic evaluation of coronary lesions. This study aims at validating the calculation of CFR based on a simple hemodynamic model to detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis.
