Patients with multivessel disease and unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) derive as much benefit from fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary ...
Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) affects the coronary arteries, which deliver blood to the myocardium. CAD symptoms include stable angina, reviewed here, and acute coronary syndromes (ACS ...
The safety of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-based deferral of nonculprit lesions in patients varies by presentation, a pooled analysis of more than 8,000 patients confirms. Among those whose treatment ...
Between July 2007 and March 2009, A total of 199 consecutive patients (age 71±11 years, 138 men) with ACS (n=79), defined as an acute ST- or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or Braunwald ...
Heart attacks kill more seniors by far than any other disease. “Atherosclerosis” is the cause; it means “artery hardening.” First, fatty deposits, or “atheromas,” appear in the artery lining. This ...
The ACTION trial demonstrates that nifedipine GITS is a well-tolerated drug for use in the treatment of angina, with a clear clinical benefit on CV events and the rate of procedures. The main ...
The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is an index used to assess the severity of coronary-artery stenosis. The index has been tested against fractional flow reserve (FFR) in small trials, and the ...
PHILADELPHIA -- The symptoms of stable angina can be eased by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) alone in the absence of antianginal medications, the randomized ORBITA-2 trial showed. Compared ...
Heart attacks kill more seniors by far than any other disease. “Atherosclerosis” is the cause; it means “artery hardening.” First, fatty deposits, or “atheromas,” appear in the artery lining. This ...
