The FAME II-10-year Follow-Up study is a research project looking at heart health over a long time. It studies patients with stable coronary artery disease, a condition where the heart's blood vessels are narrowed. The study started in 2009 and includes people who received two types of care: FFR-guided PCI (a special heart procedure) plus medicine, or medicine alone. FFR stands for Fractional Flow Reserve, which helps doctors decide if a blockage in the heart needs treatment. PCI stands for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, a way to open blocked heart arteries. This 10-year follow-up checks for any major heart issues like heart attacks or unplanned hospital visits. To join, you need to have certain heart conditions and agree to the study rules.
- This follow-up will last about 6 months.
- You need to sign a consent form to participate.
- The study checks for heart events over 10 years.
