The current study evaluated the diagnostic performance for myocardial ischemia of on-site automatic CCTA-derived FFR (CT-FFR) using a commercially available workstation as compared with invasive FFR as a reference. The diagnostic performance of CT-FFR was compared to that of CCTA diameter stenosis.
This is a retrospective, multicenter, comparative, investigator-initiated study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR from routinely acquired CCTA data using the software HeartMedi+ 1.0 (AI Medic, Korea) to detect hemodynamically significant CAD. Patients who underwent CCTA within 90 days before invasive coronary angiography and FFR measurement will be screened in each participating center. After that, invasive coronary angiography, FFR data, and CCTA data will be anonymized and transferred to the independent core laboratories and analyzed in a blind fashion. The presence of ischemia was defined as FFR ≤0.80. Anatomical obstructive stenosis was defined as diameter stenosis on CCTA ≥50%, and the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR and CCTA stenosis for ischemia was compared.

Comparison of diagnostic performance of CT-FFR to that of CCTA stenosis
Diagnostic performance to predict hemodynamically significant CAD included diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. A comparison of diagnostic performance was performed using McNemar's test or weight generalized score statistic as appropriate.

Comparison of discriminant ability of CT-FFR to that of CCTA stenosis
Discriminant ability to predict hemodynamically significant CAD was assessed by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). The AUCs were compared by Delong's test
