Note. Values are expressed as n (%). FFR , values ≤0.80 indicate low FFR and >0.80 high FFR. RFR, values ≤0.89 indicate low RFR and >0.89 high RFR. Concordance was defined as the number of correctly identified lesions divided by the total number of lesions, while discordance was defined as the number of incorrectly identified lesions divided by the total number of lesions. FFR, fractional flow reserve; LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; LCX, left circumflex coronary artery; RCA, right coronary artery; RFR, resting full-cycle ratio.
