ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving complete revascularization, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may experience adverse outcomes, potentially attributable to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Coronary flow reserve (CFR), which integrates both epicardial and microvascular coronary function, and a reduced CFR following complete ...

ABSTRACT Background Mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high despite advanced treatment strategies in CS patients, underlining the need for the identification of predictors of prognosis in CS patients. Therefore, the present study investigates the prognostic impact of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients with CS ...

Use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging Angiography to Follow-Up Arterial Remodeling in an Animal Model [PDF]
Appropriately sized arteries in small animals may be possible models for studying the remodeling process as occurs after arterial balloon injury in humans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is able to noninvasively image tissue in vivo.
