Researchers from Shanghai Jiaotong University have found a new method for diagnosing coronary heart diseases which has 33 percent higher accuracy when compared with conventional methods. The name of the technology is called Quantitative Flow Ratio measurement system.

One of the most conventional diagnostic method of coronary heart disease is Coronary Angiography. Based on the study of an X ray coronary angiography image the system obtains QFR which may helps to identify coronary heart diseases. One of the major advantage of this method is it does not require additional surgeries or drugs.        

According to the clinical study researchers found that the new method could assess coronary function within four minutes and it is 33 percent more higher than current conventional methods.
