Validation of physiological principles of Non-Invasive fractional flow reserve derived from CT coronary angiography

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) simulation of fractional flow reserve (FFR) is derived from allometric and morphometric scaling principles, allowing inference of physiological parameters from anatomical measures like left-ventricular (LV) mass and coronary luminal dimensions. Validity of these assumptions in humans remains uncertain, with supporting data derived from animal models.
