In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Allen Jeremias brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Intracoronary Physiology and Its Use in Interventional Cardiology. Assessment of intra-coronary physiology can guide percutaneous coronary intervention and is often used for angiographically borderline stenoses. There is now increasing evidence to suggest that more routine use can improve clinical outcomes. In this issue, top experts bring you fully up to date in this key area of interventional cardiology.
