The physiological assessment of coronary lesions is influenced by the pattern and distribution of coronary artery disease (CAD) including focal lesions, serial lesions, diffuse disease and mixed patterns. These various patterns of CAD impact on the accuracy of pressure-wire and angiography-derived physiology indices and diffuse disease in particular is an important determinant of the anticipated outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
