Data expressed as cumulative incidence of clinical outcomes and numbers of events. Cumulative incidence of clinical outcomes represents Kaplan–Meier estimates during median follow‐up of 1422.0 days (Q1–Q3 566.0–1855.0 days). P values for log‐rank or Breslow test in survival analysis. CFR indicates coronary flow reserve; FFR, fractional flow reserve; HR, hazard ratio; and RRR, resistive reserve ratio.
