Overview

FISH&CHIPS two-year key outcomes associated with availability of FFRCT include:

  • A significant 14% relative reduction in cardiovascular mortality and a significant 8% relative reduction in all-cause mortality.
  • An increase in cath lab efficiency, driven by a 5% relative reduction in invasive cardiac angiography (ICA) and an 8% relative increase in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
  • A 14% relative reduction in additional non-invasive heart testing following CCTA.
  • High prognostic value for FFRCT whereby patients with severely abnormal FFRCT values (≤0.50) had a 2x risk of all-cause death and a 3x risk of non-fatal MI compared to patients with normal FFRCT values.
     

Learn from our esteemed panel’s discussion with the PI of this important study. Delve into the details of the design, analyse the results and understand what led to these impressive benefits for patients and the cath lab. 


FISH&CHIPS is real world, multi-centre, retrospective study including more than 90,000 patients assessing at a national level the incremental impact of adding FFRCT to a CCTA-first diagnostic paradigm for evaluating and managing coronary artery disease (CAD). The study was conducted in England and was funded by UK Medical Research Council (MRC).1,2.


In a dynamic interview format, our esteemed panelists will explore the nuances of the FISH&CHIPS study.


This video series is an essential event for cardiologists seeking to learn more about the modern way to diagnose CAD. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from our esteemed panel and stay at the forefront of advancements in diagnosis and management of CAD using CCTA and FFRCT.
