Abstract
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) determinations have been demonstrated to be largely independent of changes in systemic hemodynamic changes. Herein, we describe a case of obstructive sleep apnea cyclically altering FFR measurements from normal to abnormal in a patient with an intermediately severe coronary narrowing following treatment for an acute coronary syndrome. To eliminate uncertainty, FFR measurements should be made if possible during suspended respiration.Entities:
