Coronary Microvascular Disease [PDF]
Coronary microvascular disease or dysfunction (CMVD) has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Despite a growing prevalence, guidelines on definitive treatment are lacking. Proposed mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and resultant inflammation have been demonstrated as the underlying cause. Imaging modalities such as echocardiography,

The “L-Sandwich” Strategy for True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background. This study explored the efficacy of the “L-sandwich” strategy, which involves the implantation of stents in the main vessel (MV) and shaft of the side branch (SB) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) applied to the SB ostium, for coronary true ...

Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death in the general population and in patients with ESRD. The principles of cardiovascular risk assessment and management apply to both populations. Advances in noninvasive coronary artery imaging have improved early detection of subclinical disease. The goals of medical management of coronary disease

Natriuretic peptides and integrated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. an individual-participant-data meta-analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases focus on prediction of coronary heart disease and stroke. We assessed whether or not measurement of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration could enable ...
