Effects of intravenous caffeine on fractional flow reserve measurements in coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND: Intravenous adenosine is used to minimise the coronary micro-resistance to achieve maximal hyperaemia along with nitrates for optimal fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements. We hypothesise that caffeine, being a competitive inhibitor of adenosine, would influence adenosine-mediated F...
