Fractional flow reserve (FFR) may yield unreliable results due to altered coronary hemodynamics, leading to discordance with non\u2010hyperemic indices. Women with AS develop distinct myocardial remodeling patterns that may predispose to coronary microvascular dysfunction. We investigated whether sex influences the diagnostic performance and agreement of invasive physiological indices in severe AS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective single\u2010center study enrolled 221 patients with severe AS and intermediate coronary stenoses. We performed comprehensive physiological assessment of 416 vessels using FFR, instantaneous wave\u2010free ratio (iFR), and quantitative flow ratio (QFR). Discordance in the detecting significant ischemia was defined using standard thresholds (FFR\u2009\u2264\u20090.80, iFR\u2009\u2264\u20090.89, QFR\u2009\u2264\u20090.80).

Female sex independently predicted FFR\/iFR discordance (OR 2.70; 95% CI: 1.03\u20137.04;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.043), along with smoking status and percent diameter stenosis.
