Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Elevated Troponin: A TRoponin ELevation in Acute Ischemic Stroke (TRELAS) Sub-Study

Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2019
Background: Elevated high-sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) can be found in more than 50% of the patients with acute ischemic stroke. The observational TRoponin ELevation in Acute ischemic Stroke (TRELAS) study revealed that about 25% of all stroke ...

State of the art: iterative CT reconstruction techniques [PDF]

, 2015
Owing to recent advances in computing power, iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms have become a clinically viable option in computed tomographic (CT) imaging. Substantial evidence is accumulating about the advantages of IR algorithms over established

Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

The Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Fractional Flow Reserve in Saphenous Vein Grafts

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between height differences related to graft anatomy and physiological pressure indices in coronary bypass grafts has not been studied. We sought to study the impact of hydrostatic pressure on fractional flow reserve (FFR) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs).

Referral to coronary angiography post myocardial perfusion imaging

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018
Introduction: The current guidelines for CAD suggest that patients with moderate to severe ischemia should be referred for angiography and possible revascularization, while patients with mild ischemia can be safely treated medically.
