Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Saphenous Vein Grafts. [PDF]
Catheter Cardiovasc IntervABSTRACTBackgroundRevascularization decision‐making for saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) relies on angiographic lesion severity estimation, as studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detecting ischemia in SVGs are scarce.AimsTo compare FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of SVGs against myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and to establish ...

Bridging the Gap in a Rare Cause of Angina
European Cardiology Review, 2021 Myocardial bridging occurs when coronary arteries run intramurally. Episodes of tachycardia can cause a dynamic obstruction that extends into diastole, compromising coronary filling time, and subsequently leading to ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia, acute

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Myocardial infarction and premature death have been observed in patients with psoriasis. Although inflammation‐driven accelerated atherosclerosis has been proposed as a mechanism, the relationship between subclinical noncalcified coronary ...

FFR post-PCI: what we learned from the FFR-SEARCH study
REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2021 WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE AFTER STENTING? The introduction of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the mid 90s moved coronary physiology from experimental science to routine use at the cath lab.1-3 Added to the better ...
