Background To assess coronary lesion severity in the catheterization laboratory, several guide wire-based methods have been proposed. The purpose of the present study was to compare the feasibility and the reproducibility of coronary how velocity reserve (CFVR), instantaneous hyperemic diastolic velocity-pressure slope index (IHDVPS), and pressure-derived myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR(myo)).Methods and Results From distal coronary pressure and flow velocity signals (0.014-in guide wires), CFVR, IHDVPS, and FFR(myo) were computed in 15 stenoses (13 patients) under the four following pairs of conditions: (1) twice under baseline conditions; (2) during atrial pacing at 80 and 110 bpm; (3) before and during intravenous infusion of nitroprusside; and (4) before and during intravenous infusion of dobutamine. A total of 104 measurements were obtained. Both CFVR and FFR(myo) could be calculated in all cases. IHDVPS could be calculated in only 79% of cases. The mean value of CFVR did not change between the two baseline measurements and during infusion of nitroprusside but decreased from 1.85+/-0.41 to 1.66+/-0.45 (P
