Background and objective Recent studies showed cardiac troponin I (cTnI) might be a non-invasive biomarker to estimate the severity of coronary stenosis. However, serum cTnI is also found associated with renal function.

Abstract Objectives The long‐term data on the use of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions in the real‐world setting are limited, even more so for racially and geographically distinct populations. The present analysis reports the 5‐year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a DCB in the Asian subset of the prospective ...

Abstract Background Clinical factors favouring coronary angiography (CA) selection and variables associated with in‐hospital mortality among patients presenting with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) without ST‐segment elevation (STE) remain unclear.

Objectives The link between obesity and hypertension with coronary atherosclerosis is complex. We aimed to assess the association of cardiac fat deposition measured by pericardial fat volume(PFV) using by multi-detector CT(MDCT) and general obesity ...

Erectile dysfunction and angiographic correlation between coronary artery stenosis and internal iliac-internal pudendal artery stenosis in patients with suspected coronary artery disease: a retrospective study [PDF]
This study aimed to assess the angiographic correlation between coronary artery stenosis and internal iliac-internal pudendal artery (II-IPA) stenosis and evaluate its association with erectile dysfunction (ED). We reviewed the data of 91 patients who

Abstract Objectives Investigate age‐related changes in coronary microvascular function, its effect on hyperemic and non‐hyperemic indices of stenosis relevance, and its prognostic implications. Background Evidence assessing the effect of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR), resting mean distal intracoronary pressure/mean aortic pressure (Pd/Pa), and ...

Coronary angiography of the ex‐situ beating donor heart in a portable organ care system
Abstract Objectives To determine safety and feasibility of ex‐situ coronary angiography. Background To cater for the perpetually growing demand for heart donors, interest in donation following circulatory death (DCD) has been rekindled. Further pursuit of donor pool expansion has led to eligibility extension to “marginal” donors who are at higher risk ...

Abstract Background In patients with some cardiovascular disease conditions, slightly elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with a lower mortality risk (termed “obesity paradox”). It is uncertain, however, if this obesity paradox exists in patients who have had invasive cardiology procedures.

ObjectiveTwo-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been used as a diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether vessel supplied myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) predict the severity of coronary artery ...
