Degree of hyperemic DPV increase according to pre-PCI FFR quartiles and pre-PCI STDE-CFC categories in lesions with low and high pre-PCI FFR settings. Vessels are divided into two groups by the median value of pre-PCI FFR (0.69). Pre-PCI STDE-CFC categorization maintained the ability to discriminate lesions, which potentially achieve higher-level hyperemic DPV increase (> 50%) in both groups, while FFR lost discriminating ability in higher FFR vessels. CFC, coronary flow capacity; DPV, diastolic peak velocity; FFR, fractional flow reserve; STDE, stress transthoracic Doppler echocardiography; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
