Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace narrowed aortic valves that fail to properly open. Following this procedure, however, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis persist and are linked to worse prognosis. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) … Continue Reading about Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors improve TAVR prognosis

Prognostic implication of myocardial injury during PCI vs CABG
Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) is myocardial injury that occurs during revascularization procedures, such as … Continue Reading about Prognostic implication of myocardial injury during PCI vs CABG

Managing coronary artery disease: MRI vs FFR
Little is known about combining diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to manage patients with suspected coronary artery disease. To bridge this gap two commonly used clinical management strategies were compared: … Continue Reading about Managing coronary artery disease: MRI vs FFR
Prognostic value of plaque vulnerability assessment for CAD patients
Treatment of coronary artery disease is often guided by the degree of physiological stenosis, as assessed by measuring the fractional flow reserve (FFR). However, patients with a low degree of stenosis still … Continue Reading about Prognostic value of plaque vulnerability assessment for CAD patients
Arrhythmic risk stratification of post-MI patients with preserved ejection fraction identifies high risk subgroup
In patients who have experienced myocardial infarction (MI), a moderately reduced level (≤ 35%) of left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is indicated as the threshold at which cardiologists should consider an … Continue Reading about Arrhythmic risk stratification of post-MI patients with preserved ejection fraction identifies high risk subgroup
