The past few years, a large amount of proofs has shown that angiography, used alone, presents limits for determining the physiologic meaning of coronary stenosis, mostly when they are intermediary[1]. Angiography, with the physiological study using the Fractionnal Flow Reserve (FFR), has prouved it?s efficacy with the reduction of cardiovascular events compared to Angioplasty guides by Angiography alone[2-5]. This approach using the FFR, in the management of stable coronary diseases, benefits from the class IA recommendation in European recommendations[6]. Our goal is to show the importance of the FFR in the determination of the myocardial ischemia reavealed by ventricular rhythm disorders, through these two observations.
