FFR \u2264 0.80 was used as the gold standard for coronary artery functional ischemia. We utilized the Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis to assess the correlation and agreement between RFR and FFR. The diagnostic value of RFR predicting FFR \u2264 0.80 was evaluated in accordance with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The hybrid RFR-FFR strategy, which was established according to determining the \u201cgray zone\u201d of RFR (FFR was further assessed using vasodilators only for diseased vessels in the \u201cgray zone\u201d), needed to afford over 95% global agreement with the FFR-only strategy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Resting full-cycle ratio was significantly linearly linked with FFR (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.636, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). The accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity for RFR \u2264 0.89 predicting FFR \u2264 0.80 were 81.2, 70.8, and 86.1%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for RFR predicting FFR \u2264 0.80 was 0.881 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001), and the cutoff value was 0.90. The \u201cgray zone\u201d of RFR was 0.85\u20130.93. The positive and negative predictive values of the hybrid RFR-FFR strategy were 0.95 and 0.93, respectively. The hybrid RFR-FFR strategy exhibited an agreement of 96.0% with FFR and obviated the need for a vasodilator by 60.4%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Resting full-cycle ratio and FFR have high correlation and consistency.
