Association Among Noncalcified Coronary Burden, Fractional Flow Reserve, and Myocardial Injury in Psoriasis

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 ...

Fractional flow reserve-guided complete vs. culprit-only revascularization in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients with multivessel disease: a meta-analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundAmong patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease, whether fractional flow reserve (FFR) guided complete revascularization (CR) is superior to the now widely used culprit-only (COR) revascularization is ...

Impact of coronary revascularization on coronary flow capacity measured by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in patients with chronic coronary syndrome [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Coronary flow capacity (CFC) integrates quantitative assessment of hyperemic myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve. We aimed to evaluate the effect of elective percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI) on CFC using serial stress ...

Exploring the Predictors of the Discrepancy Between Quantitative Flow Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve Measurements

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Quantitative flow ratio is a novel technology for the functional assessment of intermediate coronary stenoses. The authors sought to explore the influence of diabetes mellitus on the application of quantitative flow ratio and predictors of ...

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
