Assessing the Efficacy of CARDIOgoniometry (CGM) to Determine Physiologically Significant Stenosis in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease in Comparison to Fractional FLOW Reserve - CARDIOFLOW

The CARDIOFLOW study compares the standard test, a pressure wire test called fractional flow reserve (FFR), with a new method that is based on taking a detailed "3D" ECG called Cardiogoniometry (CGM). FFR is an angiographic technique which measures the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis and trial data has shown that basing management decisions on this data improves prognosis. However FFR studies are expensive and invasive, whereas CGM is painless and simply involves placing 4 sticky pads to the patient's chest / back and is similar to an ECG (heart tracing). The investigators want to see whether we can use this new method to find out whether treatment with coronary angioplasty would be of benefit. If so, then in the future, clinicians could use this method (CGM) rather than pressure wire assessment (FFR). This would have several advantages; in particular, it can be easily performed in the clinic and avoids the need to use an expensive pressure wire.
