Computed tomography with fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) is increasingly common in assessing coronary artery disease. We report five cases of discrepancies that led to changes in treatment. This report highlights discordant findings between modalities, which should be considered during the diagnostic assessment of chest pain. • CT-FFR is increasingly common in assessing coronary artery disease. • We report 5 cases of discrepancies that led to changes in treatment. • This report highlights discordant findings between physiology modalities. • These should be considered during the diagnostic assessment of chest pain.
