Table 2.

Outcome in lesions with mild/no calcification and severe calcification.

Mild/no calcification (n=36) Severe calcification (n=16) P value
FFR 0.68±0.17 0.64±0.21 0.43
Stenosis by MDCT 66.7±11.6 67.8±12.0 0.77
Reference diameter by QCA (mm) 2.66±0.56 2.65±0.63 0.93
Diameter stenosis by QCA (%) 61.1±11.1 60.5±12.9 0.88
False-positive, n (%) 10 (27.8) 5 (31.2) 1.0
False-negative, n (%) 1 (2.8) 2 (12.5) 0.22

False positive=stenosis on MDCT >50% and on FFR >0.75, false-negative=stenosis on MDCT <50% and on FFR <0.75, FFR=fractional flow reserve, MDCT=multidetector computed tomography, QCA=quantitative coronary angiography.
